Mark 3:1-6
Chapter 3
1
Healing on the Sabbath
Again, Jesus entered the synagogue. A man with a paralyzed hand was there;2
and some people watched Jesus: would he heal the man on the Sabbath? If he did, they could accuse him.
3
Jesus said to the man with the paralyzed hand:
“Stand here, in the center.”
4
Then he asked them:
“What does the law allow us to do on the Sabbath, to do good or to do harm? To save life or to kill?”
But they were silent.
5
Then Jesus looked around at them with anger and deep sadness at their stubbornness. And he said to the man:
“Stretch out your hand.”
He stretched it out, and his hand was healed.
6
After the Pharisees left, they met with Herod’s supporters to find a way to destroy Jesus.
