Matthew 12:14
Compare all
12 Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep? Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”
13 Then He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he stretched it out, and it was restored as whole as the other.
14 Then athe Pharisees went out and plotted against Him, how they might destroy Him.  

Behold, My Servant

15 But when Jesus knew it, aHe withdrew from there. bAnd great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them all.  
16 Yet He awarned them not to make Him known,  
17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying:
18 “Behold! aMy Servant whom I have chosen,
My Beloved bin whom My soul is well pleased!
I will put My Spirit upon Him,
And He will declare justice to the Gentiles. 
19 He will not quarrel nor cry out,
Nor will anyone hear His voice in the streets.
20 A bruised reed He will not break,
And smoking flax He will not quench,
Till He sends forth justice to victory;
21 And in His name Gentiles will trust.”

A House Divided Cannot Stand

22 aThen one was brought to Him who was demon-possessed, blind and mute; and He healed him, so that the1 blind and mute man both spoke and saw.  
23 And all the multitudes were amazed and said, “Could this be the aSon of David?”

Matthew 12:14

Held a council against him - Nothing sooner leads to utter blindness, and hardness of heart, than envy. There are many who abandon themselves to pleasure-taking and debauchery on the Sabbath, who condemn a poor man whom necessity obliges to work on what is termed a holiday, or a national fast.
