文士和法利赛人窥探耶稣,在安息日治病不治病。要得把柄去告他。And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him.
耶稣却知道他们的意念。就对那枯乾一只手的人说,起来,站在当中。那人就起来站着。But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man which had the withered hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth.
耶稣对他们说,我问你们,在安息日行善行恶,救命害命,那样是可以的呢。Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it?
他就周围看着他们众人,对那人说,伸出手来。他把手一伸,手就复了原。And looking round about upon them all, he said unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored whole as the other.
