“I was in the synagogue on the sabbath with a withered hand, and people were watching Jesus to see if he would heal me so they could accuse him. He told me, "Stand forth." Then he asked them whether it was lawful to do good on the sabbath or to do evil, to save life or to kill, but they held their peace. He looked around at them with anger, grieved for the hardness of their hearts. Then he said to me, "Stretch forth thine hand." I stretched it out, and my hand was restored whole as the other. Jesus cared more about my hand than about their approval.”
