Matthew 12:9-14

9Jesus moved on from there and went into a synagogue.

10A man with a paralyzed hand was there. The people asked Jesus whether it was right to heal on a day of rest—a holy day, so that they could accuse him of doing something wrong.

11Jesus said to them, “Suppose one of you has a sheep. If it falls into a pit on a day of rest—a holy day, wouldn’t you take hold of it and lift it out?

12Certainly, a human is more valuable than a sheep! So it is right to do good on the day of rest—a holy day.”

13Then he said to the man, “Hold out your hand.” The man held it out, and it became normal again, as healthy as the other.

14The Pharisees left and plotted to kill Jesus.
