The Gospel of Matthew - The Man with a Withered Hand | Matthew Chapter 12: 9 -14

In Matthew 12:9-14, Jesus enters a synagogue where He encounters a man with a withered hand. The Pharisees ask if it is lawful to heal on the Sabbath, hoping to accuse Him. Jesus responds by comparing healing to rescuing a sheep on the Sabbath, highlighting that doing good is always lawful. He then heals the man's hand, demonstrating the priority of compassion over rigid Sabbath rules. Enraged, the Pharisees begin plotting against Him.
