2
And some of the Pharisees said to them: Why do you that which is not lawful on the sabbath days?
3
And Jesus answering them, said: Have you not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was hungry and they that were with him:
4
How he went into the house of God and took and ate the bread of proposition and gave to them that were with him, which is not lawful to eat but only for the priests?
5
And he said to them: The Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
6
And it came to pass also, on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught. And there was a man whose right hand was withered.
7
And the scribes and Pharisees watched if he would heal on the sabbath: that they might find an accusation against him.
8
But he knew their thoughts and said to the man who had the withered hand: Arise and stand forth in the midst. And rising he stood forth.
9
Then Jesus said to them: I ask you, if it be lawful on the sabbath days to do good or to do evil? To save life or to destroy?
10
And looking round about on them all, he said to the man: Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched it forth. And his hand was restored.
11
And they were filled with madness: and they talked one with another, what they might do to Jesus.
12
And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray: and he passed the whole night in the prayer of God.
