Matthew 12:9-21

9And when he had departed from there, he went into their synagogue: 10And, behold, there was a man who had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath? that they might accuse him. 11And he said to them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it shall fall into a pit on the sabbath, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out? 12How much then is a man better than a sheep? Therefore it is lawful to do good on the sabbath days. 13Then saith he to the man, Stretch out thy hand. And he stretched it out; and it was restored as whole, as the other.

14Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.1 15But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from there: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all; 16And charged them that they should not make him known: 17That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying, 18Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall show justice to the Gentiles. 19He shall not quarrel, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets. 20A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he shall send forth justice to victory. 21And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
