Jesus Heals a Man on the Sabbath Day
6 On another Sabbath day Jesus went into the synagogue and taught the people.
A man with a crippled right hand was there.
7 The teachers of the law and the Pharisees were watching Jesus closely.
They were waiting to see if he would heal on the Sabbath day.
They wanted to see him do something wrong so that they could accuse him.
8 But Jesus knew what they were thinking.
He said to the man with the crippled hand,
“Get up and stand here where everyone can see.”
The man got up and stood there.
9 Then Jesus said to them,
“I ask you, which is the right thing to do on the Sabbath day: to do good or to do evil?
Is it right to save a life or to destroy one?”
10 Jesus looked around at all of them and then said to the man,
“Hold out your hand.”
The man held out his hand, and it was healed.
11 The Pharisees and the teachers of the law got so mad they couldn’t think straight.
They talked to each other about what they could do to Jesus.

Luke 6:6-11 (ERV)

The Man with a Paralyzed Hand
6 On another Sabbath Jesus went into a synagogue and taught. A man was there whose right hand was paralyzed.
7 Some teachers of the Law and some Pharisees wanted a reason to accuse Jesus of doing wrong, so they watched him closely to see if he would heal on the Sabbath.
8 But Jesus knew their thoughts and said to the man, “Stand up and come here to the front.” The man got up and stood there.
9 Then Jesus said to them, “I ask you: What does our Law allow us to do on the Sabbath? To help or to harm? To save someone’s life or destroy it?”
10 He looked around at them all; then he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did so, and his hand became well again.
11 They were filled with rage and began to discuss among themselves what they could do to Jesus.
