7 And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogues.
8 And, behold, there was a man which had a withered hand. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath days? that they might accuse him.
9 And 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?
10 How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the Sabbath days.
11 Then said he to the man, Stretch forth thy hand; and he stretched it forth, and it was restored whole, like unto the other.
12 Then the Pharisees went out and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.
13 But Jesus knew when they took counsel, and he withdrew himself from thence; and great multitudes followed him, and he healed their sick, and charged them that they should not make him known;
14 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased.
15 I will put my Spirit upon him, and he shall show judgment to the Gentiles. He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.
16 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.
