Luke 6:9 in Context — Luke 6

7 Y le acechaban los escribas y los Fariseos, si sanaría en sábado, por hallar de qué le acusasen.

8 Mas él sabía los pensamientos de ellos; y dijo al hombre que tenía la mano seca: Levántate, y ponte en medio. Y él levantándose, se puso en pie.

9 Entonces Jesús les dice: Os preguntaré [una cosa]: ¿Es lícito en sábados hacer bien, ó hacer mal? ¿salvar la vida, ó quitarla?

10 Y mirándolos á todos alrededor, dice al hombre: Extiende tu mano. Y él lo hizo así, y su mano fué restaurada.

11 Y ellos se llenaron de rabia; y hablaban los unos á los otros qué harían á Jesús.
