Luke 6:9 Context
7And the Scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heale on the Sabbath day: that they might find an accusation against him. 8But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man which had the withered hand, Rise vp, and stand foorth in the mids. And he arose, and stood foorth. 9Then said Iesus vnto them, I will aske you one thing, Is it lawfull on the Sabbath dayes to doe good, or to doe euill? to saue life, or to destroy it? 10And looking round about vpon them all, he said vnto the man, Stretch foorth thy hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored whole as the other. 11And they were filled with madnesse, and communed one with another what they might doe to Iesus.
