Tree of Life Version

Matthew 12:2-14

2But when the Pharisees saw this, they said to Him, “Look, Your disciples are doing what is not permitted on Shabbat.”

3But He said to them, “Haven’t you read what David did when he became hungry, and those with him?

4How he entered into the house of God, and they ate the showbread, which was not permitted for him to eat, nor for those with him, but only for the kohanim?

5Or haven’t you read in the Torah that on Shabbat the kohanim in the Temple break Shabbat and yet are innocent?

6But I tell you that something greater than the Temple is here.

7If you had known what this means, ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice,’ you wouldn’t have condemned the innocent.

8For the Son of Man is Lord of Shabbat.”

9Leaving from there, He went into their synagogue.

10A man with a withered hand was there. And so that they might accuse Him, they questioned Yeshua, saying, “Is it permitted to heal on Shabbat?”

11He said to them, “What man among you will not grab his sheep and lift it out, if it falls into a pit on Shabbat?

12How much more valuable then is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is permitted to do good on Shabbat.”

13Then He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he stretched it out and it was restored, as healthy as the other.

14But the Pharisees went out and plotted against Him, how they might destroy Him.
