THE HOLY BIBLE Authorized King James

Matthew (Author Matthew)

12:10And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.

12:11And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?

12:12How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.

12:13Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other.

12:14Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.

12:15But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;

12:16And charged them that they should not make him known:

12:17That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,

12:18Behold 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 shew judgment to the Gentiles.

12:19He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.

12:20A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.

12:21And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
