- But some of the Pharisees said, Why do you do what it is not right to do on the Sabbath?
- And Jesus said, Have you not seen in the Writings what David did when he was in need of food, he, and those who were with him;
- How he went into the house of God and took for food the holy bread, which only the priests may take, and gave it to those who were with him?
- And he said, The Son of man is lord even of the Sabbath.
- And it came about, on another Sabbath, that he went into the Synagogue and was teaching there. And a man was there whose right hand was dead.
- And the scribes and Pharisees were watching him to see if he would make him well on the Sabbath, so that they might be able to say something against him.
- But he had knowledge of their thoughts; and he said to the man whose hand was dead, Get up and come into the middle. And he got up and came forward.
- And Jesus said, I put the question to you, Is it right to do good on the Sabbath or to do evil? to give life or to take it away?
