Matthew 12:1-14 At that tyme Iesus went on the Sabboth dayes thorowe the corne, and hys discyples were an hongred, and beganne to plucke the eares of corne, and to eate.

Great⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ At that tyme Iesus went on the Sabboth dayes thorowe the corne, and hys discyples were an hongred, and beganne to plucke the eares of corne, and to eate. ² But when the Pharises sawe it, they sayde vnto hym: Beholde, thy discyples do that which is not lawfull to do vpon the Sabboth daye. ³ But he sayde vnto them. Haue ye not read what Dauid dyd, when he was an hongred, & they that were with him? ⁴ How he entred into the house of God, and did eate the shewe breades which were not lawfull for hym to eate, nether for them which were with hym, but onely for the prestes? ⁵ Or haue ye not read in the lawe, how that (on the Sabath dayes) the preastes in the temple breake the Saboth, and are blamelesse? ⁶ But I saye vnto you: that in this place is one greater then the temple. ⁷ Wherfore, yf ye wyst what this meaneth I require mercy, & not sacrifice: ye wolde not haue condemned innocentes. ⁸ For the sonne of man also, is Lord euen of the Sabath daye. ⁹ And he departed thence and went into their synagoge: ¹⁰ and beholde, ther was a man which had his hande dried vp. And they asked hym, sayinge is it lawfull to heale vpon the Saboth dayes? that they myght accuse him. ¹¹ And he sayde vnto them: which of you will it be, that shall haue. a shepe, and yf it fall into a pytte on the Saboth daye, wyl he not take it and lyft it out? ¹² Howe moch more then is a man better then a shepe? Wherfore, it is lefull to do a good dede on the Saboth dayes. ¹³ Then sayeth he to the man: stretch forth thy hande. And he stretched it forth: And it was restored vnto health, lyke as the other. ¹⁴ Then the Pharises went out, and helde a counsell agaynst him, how they myght destroye him.
