Luke 14:1-6

Healing on the Sabbath

1 One Sabbath, when Jesus went to share a meal in the home of one of the leaders of the Pharisees, they were watching him closely.

2 A man suffering from an abnormal swelling of the body was there.

3 Jesus asked the lawyers and Pharisees, " Does the Law allow healing on the Sabbath or not?"

4 But they said nothing. Jesus took hold of the sick man, cured him, and then let him go.

5 He said to them, " Suppose your child or ox fell into a ditch on the Sabbath day. Wouldn't you immediately pull it out?"

6 But they had no response.
