10 He saw a man with a shriveled hand there. The Pharisees thought that Jesus would be disobeying the tradition about not working on the day of rest if he healed the man, so one of them asked him, "Does God permit us to heal people on our day of rest?" They asked that question so that they might accuse him if he healed someone ◄on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day►. 11 He replied to them, "Would anyone among you who has only one sheep that falls into a hole ◄on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day► just leave it there [RHQ]? Certainly not! You would take hold of it and lift it out right away, and that would be acceptable work on our day of rest, too 12 Because sheep are valuable, their owners may work on our day of rest in order to rescue them. So, because people are more valuable than sheep, it is certainly right for us to do something good by healing another person any day, including our day of rest!" 13 Then he said to the man, "Stretch out your withered hand!" The man stretched it out, and it became normal like the other hand!
