KJV ORIGINAL
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.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
There was this guy there with a completely messed up hand that didn't work. The religious leaders asked Jesus, 'Is it even legal to heal someone on the Sabbath?' But honestly, they were just trying to trap him and find something to pin on him.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
They cared more about catching Jesus breaking rules than about a man who needed healing.
