And he saith to the man that had the withered hand: Rise up into the middes. And he saith to them: Is it lawful on the Sabboths to doe wel or il? to save a soule, or to destroy? but they held their peace. And looking round about upon them, with anger, being sorrowful for the blindnes of their hart, he saith to the man: Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched it forth; and his hand was restored unto him.

And the Pharisees going forth, immediatly made a consultation with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him. But with his Disciples retired to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee and Jewrie followed him, and from Hierusalem, and from Idumæa, and beyond Jordan. And they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, hearing the things which he did, came to him. And he spake to his Disciples that a boate might attend on him because of the multitude, lest they should throng him.
