9 Y partiéndose de allí, vino á la sinagoga de ellos.

10 Y he aquí había [allí] uno que tenía una mano seca: y le preguntaron, diciendo: ¿Es lícito curar en sábado? por acusarle.

11 Y él les dijo: ¿Qué hombre habrá de vosotros, que tenga una oveja, y si cayere ésta en una fosa en sábado, no le eche mano, y la levante?

12 Pues ¿cuánto más vale un hombre que una oveja? Así que, lícito es en los sábados hacer bien.

13 Entonces dijo á aquel hombre: Extiende tu mano. Y él la extendió, y fué restituída sana como la otra.
