Context of Mark 3:3

1Again Jesus went into a synagogue; and a man was there whose hand was withered. 2The Pharisees were watching Jesus closely to see if He would heal him on the Sabbath, so that they might accuse Him [in the Jewish high court]. He said to the man whose hand was withered, “Get up and come forward!” 4He asked them, “Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save a life or to kill?” But they kept silent. 5After looking around at them with anger, grieved at the hardness and arrogance of their hearts, He told the man, “Hold out your hand.” And he held it out, and his hand was [completely] restored.

On this principle our Saviour puts this question to the Jews…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 3-4Jesus challenged his enemies' belief that God did not allow doing good works on the Sabbath (see Luke 13:10–17). to save life or to destroy it: This might refer to an incident in which the Maccabees decided to fight if attacked on the Sabbath (1 Maccabees 2:32–41).
