1
And it came to pass on
the second sabbath after the first that he went through the grain fields and his disciples plucked the ears of grain and ate, rubbing
them in
their hands.
2
And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days?
3
And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read so much as this, what David did, when he and those that were with him were hungry,
4
how he went into the house of God and did take and eat the showbread and gave also to those that were with him, which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone?
5
And he said unto them, The Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath.
6
And it came to pass also on another sabbath that he entered into the synagogue and taught, and a man was there whose right hand was withered.
7
And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day, that they might find an accusation against him.
8
But he knew their thoughts and said to the man who had the withered hand, Rise up and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth.
9
Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing: Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good or to do evil? to save
a person or to destroy
them?
10
And looking round about upon them all, he said unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so, and his hand was restored whole as the other.
11
And they were filled with madness and talked one with another
about what they might do to Jesus.
