Matthew 12:2-14

2Now when the Pharisees saw this, they said to Him, “Look, Your disciples are doing what 1is not lawful to do on a Sabbath!” 3But He said to them, “Have you not read what David did when he became hungry, he and his companions-- 4how he entered the house of God, and 2they ate the 3consecrated bread, which was not lawful for him to eat nor for those with him, but for the priests alone? 5Or have you not read in the Law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple 4violate the Sabbath, and yet are innocent? 6But I say to you that something 5greater than the temple is here. 7But if you had known what this 6means: ‘7I desire 8compassion, 9rather than sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned 10the innocent. 8For 11the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

912Departing from there, He went into their synagogue. 10And a man was there whose hand was withered. And they questioned 13Jesus, asking, “14Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”--so that they might bring charges against Him. 11But He said to them, “15What man 16is there among you who 17has a sheep, and if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will he not take hold of it and lift it out? 1218How much more valuable then is a person than a sheep! So then, it is lawful to do 19good on the Sabbath.” 13Then He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand!” 20He stretched it out, and it was restored to 21normal, like the other. 14But the Pharisees went out and 2223conspired against Him, as to how they might destroy Him.
