Matthew 12:15a
Since Jesus knew their plans, he left that place.
Then Jesus said to the man: “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and it was fully restored, just as sound as the other one.
Is a human being less deserving of help than a sheep? Therefore, it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”
He said to them: “What if one of you has a sheep and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath? Would you not take hold of your sheep and lift it out?
A man was there with a paralyzed hand, and those who wanted to accuse Jesus asked him: “Is it permitted to heal on the Sabbath?”
If you truly understood the meaning of the words: ‘It is mercy I want, not sacrifice’; you would not have condemned the innocent.
