Jesus and the others entered the synagogue. Jesus and the males sat down on one side. The females sat on the other side.

Rabbi Lamech was reading from a Torah scroll. " No one born of a forbidden union may enter the assembly of the Lord".

Simon spots a man sitting by himself. His left hand is curled in his lap. 

Jesus walks up to the man. " Shalom". Jesus glances at his hand. " May I see?".

Rabbi Lamech began to shout. " What are you doing?".

Jesus smiles at the man. " What is your name?".

" Elam".

Jesus frowned. " Your friend here has a withered hand".

Rabbi Lamech quickly walked up to Jesus. " It is not lawful to heal on Sabbath".

" Lift your hand". Jesus put both of his hands on his. He breathed on the withered hand.

Elam grinned at Jesus.

" Stretch it out".

Elam slowly did so. He smiled at Jesus.

Jesus smiled back. " It's good huh?".

Rabbi Madai shouted. " Get out!".

Quietly, Jesus and the others left.
