4 Then he said to the people, “Is it lawful to do good on the Sabbath day or to do harm; to save a life or to kill?” But they were silent.
And he saith to them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they were silent.

And looking round on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith to the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched it forth; and his hand was restored.

31 Then his mother and his brothers came and stood outside. They sent for him, summoning him.
