And{G2532} he saith{G3004}{(G5719)} unto them{G846}, Is it lawful{G1832}{(G5748)} to do good{G15}{(G5658)} on the sabbath days{G4521}, or{G2228} to do evil{G2554}{(G5658)}? to save{G4982}{(G5658)} life{G5590}, or{G2228} to kill{G615}{(G5658)}? But{G1161} they held their peace{G4623}{(G5707)}.
Strong's King James
He says to them, "Is it permitted to do good or doevil on Shabbat? Saving life or killing?" But they kept silent.

[4] Then Jesus challenged His critics with penetrating questions: "What does God's law actually permit on the Sabbath—to help or to harm? To save life or to destroy it?" Their telling silence revealed hearts more committed to regulation than compassion.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
And he saith to them, ‘Is it lawful on the sabbaths to do good, or to do evil? life to save, or to kill?’ but they were silent.
