Matthew 12 v 9 to 14
Matthew 12
New International Version
Jesus Is Lord of the Sabbath
12
9 Going on from that place, he went into their synagogue, 10 and a man with a shrivelled hand was there. Looking for a reason to bring charges against Jesus, they asked him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”
11 He said to them, “If any of you has a sheep and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will you not take hold of it and lift it out? 12 How much more valuable is a person than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”
13 Then he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out and it was completely restored, just as sound as the other. 14 But the Pharisees went out and plotted how they might kill Jesus.
1/ V 1-2 are you surprised at the Pharisees attempt to trap Jesus?
3/ V11 how does Jesus answer show the hypocrisy of the Pharisees?
4/ V 12 Jesus resorted the man’s hand to be as good as his other hand. Can this be done instantly today by doctors or is it a miracle? What should the Pharisees have learnt about Jesus that they obviously failed to learn.
5/ V14 what did they plan for Jesus because he embarrassed them in front if their congregation?
