012:009 Departing thence He went to their synagogue,
012:010 where there was a man with a shrivelled arm.
And they questioned Him, "Is it right to cure people on
the Sabbath?" Their intention was to bring a charge against Him.
012:011 "Which of you is there," He replied, "who, if he has but
a single sheep and it falls into a hole on the Sabbath,
will not lay hold of it and lift it out?
012:012 Is not a man, however, far superior to a sheep?
Therefore it is right to do good on the Sabbath."
012:013 Then He said to the man, "Stretch out your arm."
And he stretched it out, and it was restored quite sound
like the other.
012:014 But the Pharisees after leaving the synagogue consulted together
against Him, how they might destroy Him.
012:015 Aware of this, Jesus departed elsewhere; and a great number
of people followed Him, all of whom He cured.
012:016 But He gave them strict injunctions not to blaze abroad His doings,
012:017 that those words of the Prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled,
012:018 "This is My servant whom I have chosen, My dearly loved One
in whom My soul takes pleasure. I will put My spirit upon Him,
and He will announce justice to the nations.
012:019 He will not wrangle or raise His voice, nor will His voice
be heard in the broadways.
012:020 A crushed reed He will not utterly break, nor will He quench
the still smouldering wick, until He has led on Justice to victory.
