Jesus Heals on the Sabbath
3
Another time Jesus went into the synagogue, and a man with a
shriveled
hand was there.
2
Some of them were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely to see if he would heal him on the Sabbath.
3
Jesus said to the man with the
shriveled
hand, “Stand up in front of everyone.”
4
Then Jesus asked them, “Which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?” But they remained silent.
5
He looked around at them in anger and, deeply distressed at their stubborn hearts, said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand was completely restored.
6
Then the Pharisees went out and began to plot with the
Herodians
how they might kill Jesus.Slide7
Why might Jesus healing in the synagogue on the Sabbath have upset the Pharisees?
Death was the penalty for breaking the Sabbath – everyone had to keep it!
Healing was work according to the oral tradition. Only if it was life threatening were you allowed to break the Sabbath.
The Pharisees wanted to catch Jesus out and may have even placed the man there themselves! They did not like Jesus claiming to be the Son of God and wanted to see him breaking the law.

B/C – I can explain why this incident upset the Pharisees.Slide9
A*/A – I can evaluate whether Jesus was right to heal on the Sabbath
.
The Sabbath was created to glorify God and to help humans have rest. It wasn’t there so that people were made to suffer! So I was right to heal the man with the withered hand and give him a new lease of life. I’ve got the power to heal, so how could I ignore this man?
Hmm.. Maybe it was a set up?
Everyone was in the synagogue for Shabbat – we were all there to rest and keep the Sabbath laws, but then Jesus swans in and breaks the law. He was undermining God. He clearly is not the Son of God if He does not obey the Commandments. He certainly is not the Messiah we are waiting for.
