Matthew 12:2-14

2But whenG1161 the PhariseesG5330 sawG3708 it, they saidG3004 unto himG846, BeholdG3708, thyG4771 disciplesG3588G3101 doG4160 that whichG3739 isG1832 notG3756 lawfulG1832 to doG4160 uponG1722 the sabbath dayG4521. 3ButG1161 heG3588 saidG3004 unto themG846, Have yeG314 notG3756 readG314 whatG5101 DavidG1138 didG4160, whenG3753 heG846 was an hungredG3983, andG2532 they that wereG3588 withG3326 himG846; 4HowG4459 he enteredG1525 intoG1519 the houseG3588G3624 of GodG3588G2316, andG2532 did eatG5315 the shewbreadG3588G740G4286, whichG3739 wasG1510 notG3756 lawfulG1832 for himG846 to eatG5315, neitherG3761 for them which wereG3588 withG3326 himG846, butG1487 onlyG3441 for the priestsG3588G2409? 5OrG2228 have yeG314 notG3756 readG314 inG1722 the lawG3588G3551, how thatG3754 on the sabbath daysG3588G4521 the priestsG3588G2409 inG1722 the templeG3588G2411 profaneG953 the sabbathG3588G4521, andG2532 areG1510 blamelessG338? 6ButG1161 I sayG3004 unto youG4771, ThatG3754 in this placeG5602 isG1510 one greater thanG3173 the templeG3588G2411. 7ButG1161 ifG1487 ye had knownG1097 whatG5101 this meanethG1510, I will haveG2309 mercyG1656, andG2532 notG3756 sacrificeG2378, yeG2613 wouldG302 notG3756 have condemnedG2613 the guiltlessG338. 8ForG1063 the SonG3588G5207 of manG3588G444 isG1510 LordG2962 evenG2532 of the sabbath dayG3588G4521. 9AndG2532 when he was departedG3327 thenceG1564, he wentG2064 intoG1519 theirG846 synagogueG3588G4864:

10AndG2532, beholdG3708, there wasG1510 a manG444 which hadG2192 his handG3588G5495 witheredG3584. AndG2532 they askedG1905 himG846, sayingG3004, Is it lawfulG1832 to healG2323 on the sabbath daysG3588G4521? thatG2443 they might accuseG2723 himG846. 11AndG1161 heG3588 saidG3004 unto themG846, WhatG5101 manG444 shall there beG1510 amongG1537 youG4771, thatG3739 shall haveG2192 oneG1520 sheepG4263, andG2532 ifG1437 itG3778 fallG1706 intoG1519 a pitG999 on the sabbath dayG3588G4521, will heG2902 notG3780 lay hold onG2902 itG846, andG2532 liftG1453 it outG1453? 12How muchG4214 thenG3767 isG1308 a manG444 betterG1308 than a sheepG4263? WhereforeG5620 it is lawfulG1832 to doG4160 wellG2573 on the sabbath daysG3588G4521. 13ThenG5119 saith heG3004 to the manG3588G444, Stretch forthG1614 thineG4771 handG3588G5495. AndG2532 he stretchedG1614 it forthG1614; andG2532 it was restoredG600 wholeG5199, like asG5613 the otherG243.

14ThenG1161 the PhariseesG5330 went outG1831, and heldG2983 a councilG4824 againstG2596 himG846, howG3704 they might destroyG622 himG846.
