Mark 3:2First Nations VersionThe Separated Ones (Pharisees) kept a close eye on Creator Sets Free (Jesus) to see whether he would heal the man on the Day of Resting, so they could accuse him. See the chapter |
There he saw a man with a shriveled and useless hand. The Separated Ones (Pharisees) had been keeping a close eye on him. Then they saw him looking at the man with the useless hand. Trying to find a reason to accuse him, they asked, “Is it permitted to heal on the Day of Resting?” Creator Sets Free (Jesus) knew what they were scheming.
They were putting him to a test, so they could have a way to accuse him. The crowd was silent and waited to see what he would say, but he said nothing. He bent over and with his finger wrote something in the dirt. When he did not answer right away, the Separated Ones (Pharisees) became angry and kept questioning him.
