Matthew:12:1-14

*
At that time Jesus went on the sabbath through the grain fields ;
and his disciples were hungry ,
and began to pluck the heads of grain ,
and to eat .
*
But when the Pharisees saw ,
they said to him ,
Behold ,
thy disciples do that which it is not lawful to do on the sabbath .
*
But he said to them ,
Have ye not read what David did ,
when he was hungry ,
and they that were with him ;
*
How he entered into the house of God ,
and ate the showbread ,
which it was not lawful for him to eat ,
neither for them who were with him ,
but only for the priests ?
*
Or have ye not read in the law ,
that on the sabbath the priests in the temple profane the sabbath ,
and are blameless ?
*
But I say to you ,
That in this place is greater than the temple .
*
But if ye had known what meaneth ,
I will have mercy ,
and not sacrifice ,
ye would not have condemned the guiltless .
*
For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath .
*
And when he had departed from there ,
he went into their synagogue :
*
And ,
behold ,
there was a man who had hand withered .
And they asked him ,
saying ,
Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath ?
that they might accuse him .
*
And he said to them ,
What man shall there be among you ,
that shall have one sheep ,
and if it shall fall into a pit on the sabbath ,
will he not lay hold on it ,
and lift out ?
*
How much then is a man better than a sheep ?
Therefore it is lawful to do good on the sabbath days .
*
Then saith he to the man ,
Stretch out thy hand .
And he stretched out ;
and it was restored as whole ,
as the other .
*
Then the Pharisees went out ,
and held a council against him ,
how they might destroy him . (
