Hi everyone. Welcome again to logical Bible study. This is a Catholic podcast where we do exegesis on the Bible,

and in particular in this podcast, we look at the gospel texts what did the original

authors mean what was Jesus trying to convey with each of the words that he used so we're really

doing a verse by verse exegesis of the text and I just want to remind you of how to contact the

ministry so if you send an email to logical bible study Study at gmail.com, you can send in any

Bible questions you have, and I'll be happy to answer them on the show. We do that from time

to time. Or you can send in some feedback, or I'd even love to hear from you about what you're

benefiting from the podcast. How did you initially hear about the podcast? What have you learned?

What do you appreciate about it?

All of that feedback really helps me in the planning and in understanding how you guys are finding things.

And you can also leave a voice message as well. If you're interested in just leaving a voice message rather than email, then there's a link for that in the show notes too.

Then Jesus said to them, I put it to you, is it against the law on the Sabbath

to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it? Then he looked round at them all and said to the

man, stretch out your hand. He did so and his hand was better. But they were furious and began to discuss
