Context
Healing a Withered Hand
6:6 On another Sabbath , Jesus entered the synagogue and was teaching . Now a man was there whose right hand was withered .
6:7 The experts in the law and the Pharisees watched Jesus closely to see if he would heal on the Sabbath , so that they could find a reason to accuse him .
6:8 But he knew their thoughts , and said to the man who had the withered hand , “Get up and stand here .” So he rose and stood there.
6:9 Then Jesus said to them , “I ask you , is it lawful to do good on the Sabbath or to do evil , to save a life or to destroy it?”
6:10 After looking around at them all , he said to the man , “Stretch out your hand .” The man did so , and his hand was restored .
6:11 But they were filled with mindless rage and began debating with one another what they would do to Jesus .
