1
And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he went through corn-fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and ate, rubbing [them] in [their] hands.
2
And certain of the Pharisees said to them, Why do ye that which it 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 himself was hungry, and they who were with him;
4
How he went into the house of God, and took and ate the show-bread, and gave also to them that were with him, which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone?
5
And he said to them, That 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 him, [to see] whether 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, Rise, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose, and stood forth.
9
Then said Jesus to them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath-days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy [it]?
10
And looking around upon them all, he said to 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 communed one with another what they might do to Jesus.
