1 At that time Jesus went on the Sabbath through the cornfields; and His disciples were hungry, and began to pluck the ears, and eat.
2 And the Pharisees, seeing, said to Him, Behold thy disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath.
3 And He said to them, Have you not read what David did, when he was hungry, and those with him?
4 How he came into the house of God, and ate the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, nor those with him, except the priests only?
5 Have you not read in the law, that the priests in the temple do profane the Sabbath, and are blameless?
6 But I say unto you, that there is One here greater than the temple.
7 But if ye had known what this is, I wish mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the innocent.
8 For the Son of man is Lord of the Sabbath.
9 And having passed on thence, He came into their synagogue.
10 And behold, there was a man having a withered hand. And they asked Him saying, Whether is it lawful to heal on Sabbath? that they might accuse Him.
11 And He said to them; What man shall there he of you, who shall have one sheep, and if it shall fall into a pit on the Sabbath, will he not lay hold of it and lift it up?
12 Therefore how much more valuable is a man than a sheep? So it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.
13 Then He says to the man, Reach forth thy hand. And he reached it forth and it was restored.
14 And the Pharisees, having gone out, took counsel against I Him that they might destroy Him.
