[+how he entered into the house of God, and ate loaves of proposition, or putting forth/either setting forth, which was not leaveful to him to eat, neither to them that were with him, no but to priests only?]

13
Then he said to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched forth; and it was restored to health as the other.
