Matthew 12:9-24

⁹He departed there, and went into their synagogue. ¹⁰And behold there was, a man with a withered hand. They asked him, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath day?" that they might accuse him. ¹¹He said to them, "What man is there among you, who has one sheep, and if this one falls into a pit on the Sabbath day, will he not grab on to it, and lift it out? ¹²How much, then, is a man of more value than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath day." ¹³Then he told the man, "Stretch out your hand." He stretched it out; and it was restored whole, just like the other. ¹⁴But the Pharisees went out, and took counsel against him, how they might destroy him.

¹⁵Jesus, perceiving that, withdrew from there. 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 through Isaiah the prophet, saying,

¹⁸"Behold, my servant whom I have chosen; My beloved in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my Spirit on him, He will declare judgment to the Gentiles.

¹⁹He will not strive, nor shout; Neither will anyone hear his voice in the streets.

²⁰He won`t break a bruised reed, He won`t quench a smoking flax, Until he sends forth judgment to victory.

²¹In his name, the Gentiles will hope."

²²Then there was brought to him one possessed by a demon, blind and mute, and he healed him, so that the blind and mute man both spoke and saw. ²³All the multitudes were amazed, and said, "Can this be the son of David?" ²⁴But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, "This man does not cast out demons, except by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons."
