Matthew 12:2-14

2But the PhariseesG5330, when they sawG3708 it, saidG3004 unto him, BeholdG2400, thy disciplesG3101 do that which it is not lawfulG1832 to do upon the sabbathG4521. 3But he saidG3004 unto them, Have ye not readG314 what DavidG1138 did, whenG3753 he was hungryG3983, and they that were with him; 4howG4459 he enteredG1525 into the houseG3624 of GodG2316, and ateG2068 the showbread, which it wasG1510 not lawfulG1832 for him to eatG2068, neither for them that wereG1510 with him, but onlyG3441 for the priestsG2409? 5Or have ye not readG314 in the lawG3551, that on the sabbathG4521 day the priestsG2409 in the temple profane the sabbathG4521, and areG1510 guiltless? 6But I sayG3004 unto you, that oneG3588 greaterG3173 than the temple isG1510 hereG5602. 7But if ye had knownG1097 what this meaneth, I desireG2309 mercyG1656, and not sacrificeG2378, ye would not have condemned the guiltless. 8For the SonG5207 of manG444 isG1510 lordG2962 of the sabbathG4521.

9And he departedG3327 thence, and went into their synagogueG4864: 10and beholdG2400, a manG444 having a witheredG3584 handG5495. And they askedG1905 him, sayingG3004, Is it lawfulG1832 to healG2323 on the sabbathG4521 day? that they might accuseG2723 him. 11And he saidG3004 unto them, What manG444 shall there beG1510 of you, that shall have oneG1520 sheepG4263, and if this fallG1706 into a pitG999 on the sabbathG4521 day, will he not lay holdG2902 on it, and lift it out? 12HowG4214 muchG4214 thenG3767 is a manG444 of moreG1308 value than a sheepG4263! Wherefore it is lawfulG1832 to do goodG2573 on the sabbathG4521 day. 13Then saith he to the manG444, StretchG1614 forth thy handG5495. And he stretchedG1614 it forth; and it was restored whole, as the otherG243. 14But the PhariseesG5330 wentG1831 out, and tookG2983 counsel against him, howG3704 they might destroyG622 him.
