The Man with a Withered Hand

Tyndale New Testament

Mat 12:9–14

9 And he departed thence and went into their synagoge:
10 and beholde ther was a man whiche had his hande dryed vp. And they axed him sayinge: ys it lawfull to heale apon the saboth dayes? because they myght acuse him.
11 And he sayde vnto the: whiche of you wolde it be yf he had a shepe fallen into a pitte on the saboth daye that wolde not take him and lyft him out?
12 And how moche is a man better the a shepe? Wherfore it is lefull to do a good dede on the saboth dayes.
13 Then sayde he to the man: stretch forth thy had. And he stretched it forthe. And it was made whole agayne lyke vnto the other.
14 Then the Pharyses wet out and helde a consell agaynst hym how they myght destroye hym.

1 And he entred agayne into the synagoge and there was a man there which had a widdred honde.
2 And they watched him to se whether he wolde heale him on the Saboth daye that they might accuse him.
3 And he sayde vnto the man which had the wyddred honde: arise and stonde in the middes.
4 And he sayd to them: whether is it laufull to do a good dede on the Saboth dayes or an evyll? to save life or kyll? But they helde their peace.
5 And he loked round aboute on them angerly mournyge on the blindnes of their hertes and sayde to the man: stretch forth thyne honde. And he stretched it oute. And his honde was restored even as whole as the other.
6 And the Pharises departed and streyght waye gaddred a counsell with the that belonged to Herode agaynst him that they might destroye him.

6 And it fortuned in a nother saboth also that he entred in to the sinagoge and taught. And ther was a man whose right honde was dryed vp.
7 And the Scribes and Pharises watched him to se whether he wolde heale on the Saboth daye that they myght fynde an accusacion agaynst him.
8 But he knewe their thoughtes and sayde to the man which had the wyddred honde: Ryse vp and stonde forthe in the myddes. And he arose and stepped forthe.
9 Then sayde Iesus vnto them: I will axe you a question: Whether is it laufull on the saboth dayes to do good or to do evill? to save lyfe or for to destroye it?
10 And he behelde them all in compasse and sayd vnto the man: Stretche forth thy honde. And he dyd so and his honde was restored and made as whoole as the other.
11 And they were filled full of madnes and communed one with another what they myght do to Iesu.
