8For the Son of man is lord of the sabbath.

9And he departed thence, and went into their synagogue:

10and behold, a man having a withered hand. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day? that they might accuse him.

11And he said unto them, What man shall there be of you, that shall have one sheep, and if this fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?

12How much then is a man of more value than a sheep! Wherefore it is lawful to do good on the sabbath day.

13Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, as the other.

14But the Pharisees went out, and took counsel against him, how they might destroy him.
