2In order to accuse Jesus, they were watching to see if He would heal on the Sabbath.
3Pea pehē ʻe ia ki he tangata naʻe nima mate, “Tuʻu mai.”
3Then Jesus said to the man with the withered hand, “Stand up among us.”
4Pea ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ngofua ke fai lelei ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho Sāpate, pe ko e fai kovi? Ke fakamoʻui, pe tāmateʻi?” Ka naʻa nau fakalongo pe.

25If a house is divided against itself, it cannot stand.

28Truly I tell you, the sons of men will be forgiven all sins and blasphemies, as many as they utter.
29Ka ko e lohiakiʻi ʻoe Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni ʻe ʻikai fakamolemolea ʻo lauikuonga, ka ʻoku tuʻutāmaki ia ki he malaʻia taʻengata:”
29But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of eternal sin.”
30Koeʻuhi naʻe pehē ʻekinautolu, “ʻOku ʻiate ia ʻae laumālie ʻuli.”

35He ko ia te ne fai ʻae finangalo ʻoe ʻOtua, ko hoku tokoua ia, mo hoku tuofefine, mo ʻeku faʻē.”
