The Man with a Withered Hand

Wycliffe's Bible (Modern Spelling)

Mat 12:9–14

9 And when he passed from thence, he came into the synagogue of them.
10 And lo! a man that had a dry hand. And they asked him, and said, Whether it be leaveful to heal in the sabbath? that they should accuse him.
11 And he said to them, What man of you shall there be, that hath one sheep, and if it fall into a ditch in the sabbaths, whether he shall not hold, and lift it up?
12 How much more is a man better than a sheep? Therefore it is leaveful to do good in the sabbaths.
13 Then he said to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched forth; and it was restored to health as the other.
14 And the Pharisees went out, and made a counsel against him, how they should destroy him.

1 And he entered again into the synagogue, and there was a man having a dry hand.
2 And they espied him, if he healed in the sabbaths, to accuse him.
3 And he said to the man that had a dry hand, Rise thou into the middle.
4 And he saith to them, Is it leaveful to do well in the sabbaths, either evil? to make a soul safe, either to lose? And they were still.
5 And he beheld them about with wrath, and had sorrow on the blind-ness of their heart, and saith to the man, Hold forth thine hand. And he held forth, and his hand was restored to him.
6 Soothly the Pharisees went out anon, and made a counsel with Herodians against him, how they should lose him.

6 And it was done in another sabbath, that he entered into a synagogue, and taught. And a man was there, and his right hand was dry.
7 And the scribes and the Pharisees espied him, if he would heal him in the sabbath, that they should find cause, whereof they should accuse him.
8 And he knew the thoughts of them, and he said to the man that had a dry hand, Rise up, and stand in the middle. And he rose, and stood.
9 And Jesus said to them, I ask you, if it is leaveful to do well in the sabbath day, or evil? to make a soul safe, or to lose?
10 And when he had beheld all men about, he said to the man, Hold forth thine hand. And he held forth, and his hand was restored to health.
11 And they were full-filled or filled with unwisdom, and spake together, what they should do of Jesus.
