Mark 3:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 And he said to them, Is it lawful to do a good deed on the Sabbath day, or to do evil? to save the [a]life, or to kill? but they held their peace.
5 Then he looked round about on them [b]angrily, mourning also for the [c]hardness of their hearts, and said to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored, as whole as the other.
6 ¶ [d]And the Pharisees departed, and straightway gathered a council with the [e]Herodians against him, that they might destroy him.

- Mark 3:5 Men, when they have wrong done unto them, are angry, but not without vice, but Christ is angry without vice, neither is he sorry so much for the injury that is done to his own person, as for their wickedness: and therefore he had pity upon them, and for that cause is he said to have mourned.
- Mark 3:5 As though their heart had been so closed up, and grown together, that wholesome doctrine could prevail no more with them.
- Mark 3:6 The more the truth is kept under, the more it cometh out.
- Mark 3:6 See also Matt. 22:16.
Mark 3:4-6
New International Version
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(A) how they might kill Jesus.(B)
