² And they were watching him to see if he would make him well on the Sabbath day, so that they might have something against him.

¹ And it came about that when he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees on the Sabbath, to have a meal, they were watching him.

²⁰ And they kept watch on him, and sent out secret representatives, who were acting the part of good men, in order that they might get something from his words, on account of which they might give him up to the government and into the power of the ruler.

⁷ And the scribes and Pharisees were watching him to see if he would make him well on the Sabbath, so that they might be able to say something against him.

³² The sinners are watching the upright man, desiring to put him to death.

⁵³ And when he had come out of that place, the scribes and the Pharisees came round him angrily, questioning him about more things;

⁵⁴ And watching him, for a chance to get something from his words which might be used against him.

¹⁶ Then some of the Pharisees said, That man has not come from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath. Others said, How is it possible for a sinner to do such signs? So there was a division among them.

¹⁰ And there was a man with a dead hand. And they put a question to him, saying, Is it right to make a man well on the Sabbath day? so that they might have something against him.

¹⁰ For numbers of them say evil secretly in my hearing (there is fear on every side): they say, Come, let us give witness against him; all my nearest friends, who are watching for my fall, say, It may be that he will be taken by deceit, and we will get the better of him and give him punishment.

²⁰ For the cruel one has come to nothing; and those who make sport of the Lord are gone; and those who are watching to do evil are cut off:

²¹ Who give help to a man in a wrong cause, and who put a net for the feet of him who gives decisions in the public place, taking away a man's right without cause.
