Big Healing Book - Matthew 12:10-13

Matthew 12:10-13:

And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.
And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?
How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.
Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other.

Notes on Matthew 12:10-13:

There will always be those who won’t rejoice with you when you get healed because they don’t believe in divine healing. They would rather have you stay sick than to think that maybe you know something that they don’t know.

Jesus never touched the man. Sometimes in a healing service, your healing may be “called out” and you can be healed without anyone touching you. Do not put God into a box by thinking that the only way you can get healed is to go up in a prayer line and have hands laid on you.

The version in Mark 3:1-5 shows that Jesus gets angry when people are more caught up with religious nit-picking than with seeing the sick healed.
