Matthew:12:1-14

*
At that time on the sabbath ,
Jesus went through the grain fields .
And His disciples were hungry ,
and began to pluck heads of grain and to eat .
*
But seeing ,
the Pharisees said to Him ,
Behold ,
your disciples are doing what it is not lawful to do on the sabbath .
*
But He said to them ,
Have you not read what David did ,
when he and those with him hungered ?
*
How he entered into the house of God ,
and he ate the Bread of Arrangement ,
which it was not lawful for him to eat ,
nor for those with him ,
but for the priests only ?
*
Or have you not read in the Law that on the sabbaths the priests in the temple profane the sabbath and are guiltless ?
*
But I say to you ,
One greater than the temple is here .
*
But if you had known what this is , "
I desire mercy and not sacrifice ,"
you would not have condemned the guiltless .

6:6
*
For the Son of man is also Lord of the sabbath .
*
And moving from there ,
He came into their synagogue .
*
And ,
behold ,
a man having a withered hand was there .
And they asked Him ,
saying ,
Is it lawful to heal on the sabbaths ? (
that they might accuse Him ).
*
But He said to them ,
What man of you will be who will have one sheep ,
and if this one fall into a pit on the sabbaths ,
will he not lay hold of it and raise it up ?
*
How much more ,
then ,
does a man excel a sheep !
So that it is lawful to do well on the sabbaths .
*
Then He said to the man ,
Stretch out your hand !
And he stretched out .
And it was restored sound as the other .
*
But as they were leaving ,
the Pharisees took up a council against Him ,
how they might destroy Him .
