Luke:6:1-16
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first ,
that he went through the corn fields ;
and his disciples plucked the ears of corn ,
and did eat ,
rubbing them in their hands .
*
And certain of the Pharisees said unto them ,
Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days ?
*
And Jesus answering them said ,
Have ye not read so much as this ,
what David did ,
when himself was an hungred ,
and they which were with him ;
*
How he went into the house of God ,
and did take and eat the shewbread ,
and gave also to them that were with him ;
which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone ?
*
And he said unto them ,
That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath .
*
And it came to pass also on another sabbath ,
that he entered into the synagogue and taught :
and there was a man whose right hand was withered .
*
And the scribes and Pharisees watched him ,
whether he would heal on the sabbath day ;
that they might find an accusation against him .
*
But he knew their thoughts ,
and said to the man which had the withered hand ,
Rise up ,
and stand forth in the midst .
And he arose and stood forth .
*
Then said Jesus unto them ,
I will ask you one thing ;
Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good ,
or to do evil ?
to save life ,
or to destroy it ?
*
And looking round about upon them all ,
he said unto the man ,
Stretch forth thy hand .
And he did so :
and his hand was restored whole as the other .
*
And they were filled with madness ;
and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus .
*
And it came to pass in those days ,
that he went out into a mountain to pray ,
and continued all night in prayer to God .
*
And when it was day ,
he called unto him his disciples :
and of them he chose twelve ,
whom also he named apostles ;
*
Simon , (
whom he also named Peter ,)
and Andrew his brother ,
James and John ,
Philip and Bartholomew ,
*
Matthew and Thomas ,
James the son of Alphaeus ,
and Simon called Zelotes ,
*
And Judas the brother of James ,
and Judas Iscariot ,
which also was the traitor .
