Luke 14:1-6

Jesus Heals on the Sabbath

1 It happened that when He went into the house of one of the leaders of the Pharisees on the Sabbath to eat bread, ¹they were watching Him closely.

2 And there in front of Him was a man suffering from dropsy.

3 And Jesus answered and spoke to the ²lawyers and Pharisees, saying, "³Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath, or not?"

4 But they kept silent. And He took hold of him and healed him, and sent him away.

5 And He said to them, "⁴Which one of you will have a son or an ox fall into a well, and will not immediately pull him out on a Sabbath day?"

6 ⁵And they could make no reply to this.
