Matthew 12:10An Understandable Version (2005 edition)and there He saw a man with a deformed hand. They asked Him, “Is it permissible by the Law of Moses to heal someone on a Sabbath day?” See the chapter |
But the official of the synagogue became angry because Jesus had healed [someone] on the Sabbath day. [Note: This was viewed as a violation of proper Sabbath day observance by certain Jews who interpreted the Law of Moses with narrow legalism]. So, the official said to the crowd, “There are six days [in the week] for people to work. Therefore, you should come to be healed on one of them, and not on the Sabbath day.”
