Mark 3:1–6
Jesus entered the synagogue, and a man was there who
had a withered hand. They watched him to see whether he would cure him on the
sabbath, so that they might accuse him. And he said to the man who had the
withered hand, "Come forward." Then he said to them, "Is it
lawful to do good or to do harm on the sabbath, to save life or to kill?"
But they were silent. He looked around at them with anger; he was grieved at
their hardness of heart and said to the man, "Stretch out your hand."
He stretched it out, and his hand was restored. The Pharisees went out and
immediately conspired with the Herodians against him, how to destroy him.
Reflection
Would people who know me be able to say that I
follow the law of love?
Can I ask God for the courage I need to do what I
know to be the right thing?
