3 ¹ On another occasion when he went to synagogue, there was a man in the congregation who had a withered arm; 3 ² and they were watching to see whether Jesus would cure him on the Sabbath, so that they could bring a charge against him. 3 ³ He said to the man with the withered arm, 'Come and stand out here.' 3 ⁴ Then he turned to them: 'Is it permitted to do good or to do evil on the Sabbath, to save life or to kill?' 3 ⁵ They had nothing to say; and, looking round at them with anger and sorrow at their obstinate stupidity, he said to the man, 'Stretch out your arm.' He stretched it out and his arm was restored. 3 ⁶ But the Pharisees, on leaving the synagogue, began plotting against him with the partisans of Herod to see how they could make away with him.
