Matthew:12:2-14
isv@Matthew:12:2 @ When the Pharisees saw this, they said to him, “Look! Your disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath!”
isv@Matthew:12:3 @ But he said to them,“Haven't you read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?
isv@Matthew:12:4 @ How is it that he went into the house of God and ate the Bread of the Presence, which was not lawful for him and his companions to eat but was reservedfor the priests?
isv@Matthew:12:5 @ Or haven't you read in the law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple violate the Sabbath and yet are innocent?
isv@Matthew:12:6 @ But I tell you, something greater than the temple is here!
isv@Matthew:12:7 @ If you had known what ‘I want mercy and not sacrifice’means, you would not have condemned the innocent.
isv@Matthew:12:8 @ For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
isv@Matthew:12:9 @ Moving on from there, Jesus went into their synagogue.
isv@Matthew:12:10 @ Suddenly a man with a paralyzed hand appeared. The people asked Jesus if it was lawful to heal on the Sabbath, intending to accuse him of doing something wrong.
isv@Matthew:12:11 @ But he said to them,“Is there a man among you who, if he had one sheep and it fell into a ditch on the Sabbath, wouldn't take hold of it and pull it out?
isv@Matthew:12:12 @ How much more is a human being worth than a sheep! So it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”
isv@Matthew:12:13 @ Then he said to the man,“Hold out your hand.” He held it out and it became normal, as healthy as the other.
isv@Matthew:12:14 @ The Pharisees, however, went out and plotted against Jesus to kill him.
