Prohibited. the fact that jesus heals the man with the withered hand on the sabbath in the synagogue suggests that he s just gonna do what he wants. it s an action that brings jesus into conflict with the jewish priesthood. now, his reputation precedes him wherever he goes. the number of his followers increases. the crowds he attracts bring him to the attention of the roman authorities. when jesus is active in galilee, those areas were under roman occupation. you could believe whatever you wanted to believe in the roman ....
