* At that season Jesus went on the Sabbath day through the grainfields ; and his disciples were hungry and began to pluck ears and to eat . * But the Pharisees , when they saw it , said to him , Look , your disciples do that which it is not lawful to do on the Sabbath . * But he said to them , Have you (note :){+}(:note ) not read what David did , when he was hungry , and those who were with him ; * how he entered into the house of God , and they ate the showbread , which it was not lawful for him to eat , neither for those who were with him , but only for the priests ? * And he said to them , The Sabbath was made for man , and not man for the Sabbath : * so that the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath . * And he departed from there , and went into their synagogue : * and look , a man having a withered hand . And they watched him to see if he would heal on the Sabbath day ; so that they might accuse him . * And he said to them , Is it lawful on the Sabbath day to do good , or to do harm ? To save a life , or to kill ? * But they held their peace . * Then he says to the man , Stretch forth your hand . And he stretched it forth ; and it was restored whole , as the other . * But the Pharisees went out , and took counsel against him , how they might destroy him . * And Jesus withdrew from there : and great multitudes from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judea and [from ] beyond the Jordan followed him . * And the report of him went forth into all Syria : and they brought to him all who were sick , held with diverse diseases and torments , and possessed with demons , and epileptic , and palsied ; and he healed them .
