wmth Matthew:12:1-14
wmth@Matthew:12:1 @ About that time Jesus passed on the Sabbath through the wheatfields; and His disciples became hungry, and began to gather ears of wheat and eat them.
wmth@Matthew:12:2 @ But the Pharisees saw it and said to Him, »Look! your disciples are doing what the Law forbids them to do on the Sabbath.«
wmth@Matthew:12:3 @ »Have you never read,« He replied, »what David did when he and his men were hungry?
wmth@Matthew:12:4 @ how he entered the House of God and ate the Presented Loaves, which it was not lawful for him or his men to eat, nor for any except the priests?
wmth@Matthew:12:5 @ And have you not read in the Law how on the Sabbath the priests in the Temple break the Sabbath without incurring guilt?
wmth@Matthew:12:6 @ But I tell you that there is here that which is greater than the Temple.
wmth@Matthew:12:7 @ And if you knew what this means,, you would not have condemned those who are without guilt.
wmth@Matthew:12:8 @ For the Son of Man is the Lord of the Sabbath.«
wmth@Matthew:12:9 @ Departing thence He went to their synagogue,
wmth@Matthew:12:10 @ where there was a man with a shrivelled arm. And they questioned Him, »Is it right to cure people on the Sabbath?« Their intention was to bring a charge against Him.
wmth@Matthew:12:11 @ »Which of you is there,« He replied, »who, if he has but a single sheep and it falls into a hole on the Sabbath, will not lay hold of it and lift it out?
wmth@Matthew:12:12 @ Is not a man, however, far superior to a sheep? Therefore it is right to do good on the Sabbath.«
wmth@Matthew:12:13 @ Then He said to the man, »Stretch out your arm.« And he stretched it out, and it was restored quite sound like the other.
wmth@Matthew:12:14 @ But the Pharisees after leaving the synagogue consulted together against Him, how they might destroy Him.
