Note:
The healing of the man with a dry hand is one of the miracles of Jesus Christ. Told in three
Gospels, including that of Matthew (chap. 12 - verses 9 to 13), it raises the question of Charity.
Meeting a man whose hand was paralysed, Jesus was asked whether or not he could carry out a healing on the Sabbath. Refusing to be taken at fault, he answers positively: the good must be done whatever the day, the virtues must prevail over the existing law.
