and a man with a shriveled hand was there. Looking for a reason to bring charges against Jesus, they asked him,“ Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”

And a man was there with a withered hand. And they asked him,“ Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”— so that they might accuse him.

where he noticed a man with a deformed hand. The Pharisees asked Jesus,“ Does the law permit a person to work by healing on the Sabbath?”( They were hoping he would say yes, so they could bring charges against him.)

Jesus had healed the woman on the Sabbath day. This made the synagogue leader angry. He told the people,“ There are six days for work. So come and be healed on those days. But do not come on the Sabbath day.”

Some of the Pharisees said,“ Jesus has not come from God. He does not keep the Sabbath day.” But others asked,“ How can a sinner do such signs?” So the Pharisees did not agree with one another.

Tell us then, what do you think? Is it right to pay the royal tax to Caesar or not?”But Jesus knew their evil plans. He said,“ You pretenders! Why are you trying to trap me?

So the Jewish leaders said to the man who had been healed,“ It is the Sabbath day. The law does not allow you to carry your mat.”

They were trying to trap Jesus with that question. They wanted to have a reason to bring charges against him. But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger.

They set traps for him. They wanted to catch him in something he might say.

“ How terrible it will be for that worthless shepherd! He deserts the flock. May a sword strike his arm and his right eye! May his powerful arm become weak! May his right eye be totally blinded!”

The man of God announced that message against the altar at Bethel. When King Jeroboam heard it, he reached out his hand from the altar. He said,“ Grab him!” But as he reached out his hand toward the man, it dried up. He couldn’t even pull it back.Also, the altar broke into pieces. Its ashes spilled out. That happened in keeping with the miraculous sign the man of God had announced. He had received a message from the Lord.King Jeroboam spoke to the man of God. He said,“ Pray to the Lord your God for me. Pray that my hand will be as good as new again.” So the man of God prayed to the Lord for the king. And the king’s hand became as good as new. It was just as healthy as it had been before.

The Pharisees saw this. They said to Jesus,“ Look! It is against the Law to do this on the Sabbath day. But your disciples are doing it anyway!”

They began to bring charges against Jesus. They said,“ We have found this man misleading our people. He is against paying taxes to Caesar. And he claims to be Messiah, a king.”

People aren’t fair when they present cases in court. They aren’t honest when they state their case. They depend on weak arguments. They tell lies. They plan to make trouble. Then they carry it out.

On another Sabbath day, Jesus went into the synagogue and was teaching. A man whose right hand was weak and twisted was there.The Pharisees and the teachers of the law were trying to find fault with Jesus. So they watched him closely. They wanted to see if he would heal on the Sabbath day.

Here a great number of disabled people used to lie down. Among them were those who were blind, those who could not walk, and those who could hardly move.

We’ve refused to obey the Lord. We’ve made evil plans against him. We’ve turned our backs on our God. We’ve stirred up conflict and refused to follow him. We’ve told lies that came from our own minds.

Is it right for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”

He said to them,“ You brought me this man. You said he was turning the people against the authorities. I have questioned him in front of you. I have found no basis for your charges against him.

Jesus turned to the Pharisees and the authorities on the law. He asked them,“ Is it breaking the Law to heal on the Sabbath day?”But they remained silent. So Jesus took hold of the man and healed him. Then he sent him away.He asked them another question. He said,“ Suppose one of you has a child or an ox that falls into a well on the Sabbath day. Wouldn’t you pull it out right away?”And they had nothing to say.

Foolish people say foolish things. Their minds are set on doing evil things. They don’t do what is right. They tell lies about the Lord. They don’t give hungry people any food. They don’t let thirsty people have any water.

Some Pharisees came to test Jesus. They asked,“ Does the Law allow a man to divorce his wife for any reason at all?”
