Matthew 12:1-19

112At that timeG2540 JesusG2424 wentG4198 throughG1223 the grainfieldsG4702 on the SabbathG4521, and His disciplesG3101 became hungryG3983 and beganG757 to 3pickG5089 the headsG4719 of grain and eatG2068. 2NowG1161 when the PhariseesG5330 sawG3708 this, they saidG3004 to Him, “LookG2400, Your disciplesG3101 are doingG4160 whatG3739 4is not lawfulG1832 to doG4160 on a SabbathG4521!” 3But He saidG3004 to them, “Have you not readG314 whatG5101 DavidG1160 didG4160 whenG3753 he became hungryG3983, he and his companionsG3588G3326-- 4howG4459 he enteredG1525 the houseG3624 of GodG2316, and 5they ateG2068 the 6consecratedG4286 breadG740, whichG3739 was not lawfulG1832 for him to eatG2068 norG3761 for thoseG3588 with him, but for the priestsG2409 aloneG3441? 5OrG2228 have you not readG314 in the LawG3551 that on the SabbathG4521 the priestsG2409 in the templeG2413 7violateG953 the SabbathG4521, and yet are innocentG338? 6But I sayG3004 to you that something 8greaterG3173 than the templeG2413 is hereG5602. 7But ifG1487 you had knownG1097 whatG5101 this 9meansG1510: ‘10I desireG2309 11compassionG1656, 12ratherG3756 thanG2532 sacrificeG2378,’ you would not have condemnedG2613 13the innocentG338. 8For 14the SonG5207 of ManG444 is LordG2962 of the SabbathG4521.”

915DepartingG3327 fromG1564 thereG1564, He wentG2064 into their synagogueG4864. 10And a manG444 was there whose handG5495 was witheredG3584. And they questionedG1905 16Jesus, askingG3004, “17Is it lawfulG1832 to healG2323 on the SabbathG4521?”--soG2443 thatG2443 they might bringG2723 chargesG2723 againstG2723 Him. 11But He saidG3004 to them, “18WhatG5101 manG444 19is there amongG1537 you whoG3739 20hasG2192 a sheepG4263, and ifG1437 it fallsG1706 into a pitG999 on the SabbathG4521, will he not takeG2902 holdG2902 of it and liftG1453 it out? 1221HowG4214 muchG4214 moreG1308 valuableG1308 thenG3767 is a personG444 than a sheepG4263! SoG5620 thenG5620, it is lawfulG1832 to doG4160 22goodG2573 on the SabbathG4521.” 13ThenG5119 He saidG3004 to the manG444, “StretchG1614 outG1614 your handG5495!” 23He stretchedG1614 it outG1614, and it was restoredG600 to 24normalG5199, likeG5613 the otherG243. 14But the PhariseesG5330 wentG1831 outG1831 and 2526conspiredG4824G2983 againstG2596 Him, as to howG3704 they might destroyG622 Him.

15But JesusG2424, 27awareG1097 of this, withdrewG402 fromG1564 thereG1564. ManyG4183 followedG190 Him, and 28He healedG2323 them allG3956, 16and 29warnedG2008 them not to 30tellG5318 whoG846 He was. 17This happened soG2443 thatG2443 whatG3588 was spokenG3004 throughG1223 IsaiahG2268 the prophetG4396 would be fulfilledG4137:18“31BeholdG2400, My 32ServantG3816 whomG3739 I 33have chosenG140; 34My BelovedG27 in whomG3739 My soulG5590 35delightsG2106; 36I will putG5087 My SpiritG4151 upon Him, 37And He will proclaimG518 38justiceG2920 to the 39GentilesG1484.1940He will not quarrelG2051, norG3761 cryG2905 out; NorG3761 will anyoneG5100 hearG191 His voiceG5456 in the streetsG4116.
