* The Pharisees saw them . They said to Jesus , Look ! Your disciples are doing what is not right on the Sabbath day . * But Jesus said to them , Have you not read what David did ? He and his men who were with him were hungry . * He went into Gods house . Some bread was there for God . Davids men ate it . David did not have the right to eat it , nor the men who were with him . Only the priests have the right to eat it . But David took the bread and ate it . He also gave some of it to the men who were with him . * Have you never read in the books of the law that the priests in the temple break the Sabbath law on the Sabbath day ? They are not punished for it . * I tell you , there is someone here who is greater than the temple . * You do not know what this means , "I want you to be kind ; I do not want a sacrifice ." If you knew , then you would not have said what they did was wrong . What they did was not wrong . * The Son of Man rules over the Sabbath day . * Jesus left that place and went into the meeting house . * There was a man whose hand was thin and weak . The people asked Jesus , Is it right to heal a man on the Sabbath day ? They wanted to find something wrong about Jesus . * Jesus said to them , If one of you had a sheep and it fell into a hole on the Sabbath day , would you not take hold of it and pull it out ? * A man is worth much more than a sheep . So it is right to do good things on the Sabbath day . * Then he said to the man , Hold out your hand . The man held out his hand and it was made well like the other hand . * Then the Pharisees went out and planned together how to kill Jesus .
