Matthew 12:9-21

9And, going away from thence, he came into their synagogue.

10And behold, there was a man having his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath? that they might accuse him.

11But he said to them, What man shall there be of you who has one sheep, and if this fall into a pit on the sabbath, will not lay hold of it and raise [it] up?

12How much better then is a man than a sheep! So that it is lawful to do well on the sabbath.

13Then he says to the man, Stretch out thy hand. And he stretched [it] out, and it was restored sound as the other.

14But the Pharisees, having gone out, took counsel against him, how they might destroy him.

15But Jesus knowing [it], withdrew thence, and great crowds followed him; and he healed them all:

16and charged them strictly that they should not make him publicly known:

17that that might be fulfilled which was spoken through Esaias the prophet, saying,

18Behold my servant, whom I have chosen, my beloved, in whom my soul has found its delight. I will put my Spirit upon him, and he shall shew forth judgment to the nations.

19He shall not strive or cry out, nor shall any one hear his voice in the streets;

20a bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, until he bring forth judgment unto victory;

21and on his name shall [the] nations hope.
