Then Jesus said to them, I will ask you one thing: Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil, to save life, or to destroy it?
And He said to them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? To save life, or to kill? But they were silent.
And answering, Jesus spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?
And looking around on them all, He said to the man, Stretch out your hand! And he did so. And his hand was restored whole like the other.
But He knew their thoughts and said to the man who had the withered hand, Rise up and stand in the middle. And he arose and stood.
For the Son of Man has not come to destroy men's lives, but to save. And they went to another village.
