His Life by William E. Barton

THE PLOT OF THE PHARISEES.

And it came to pass on a sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man there, and his right hand was withered. And the scribes and the Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath; that they might find how to accuse him.

But he knew their thoughts; and he said to the man that had his hand withered, |Rise up, and stand forth in the midst.|

And he arose and stood forth. And Jesus said unto them, |I ask you, Is it lawful on the sabbath to do good, or to do harm? to save a life or to destroy it? 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? How much then is a man of more value than a sheep! Wherefore it is lawful to do good on the sabbath day.|

But they held their peace. And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved at the hardening of their heart, he saith unto the man, |Stretch forth thy hand.|

And he stretched it forth; and his hand was restored whole, as the other.

But they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus.

And the Pharisees went out, and straightway with the Herodians took counsel against him, how they might destroy him.
