of wheat and eat them.
012:002 But the Pharisees saw it and said to Him, "Look! your disciples
are doing what the Law forbids them to do on the Sabbath."
012:003 "Have you never read," He replied, "what David did when he and
his men were hungry?
012:004 how he entered the House of God and ate the Presented Loaves,
which it was not lawful for him or his men to eat, nor for any
except the priests?
012:005 And have you not read in the Law how on the Sabbath the priests
in the Temple break the Sabbath without incurring guilt?
012:006 But I tell you that there is here that which is greater
than the Temple.
012:007 And if you knew what this means, `It is mercy I desire,
not sacrifice', you would not have condemned those who
are without guilt.
012:008 For the Son of Man is the Lord of the Sabbath."
012:009 Departing thence He went to their synagogue,
012:010 where there was a man with a shrivelled arm.
And they questioned Him, "Is it right to cure people on
the Sabbath?" Their intention was to bring a charge against Him.
012:011 "Which of you is there," He replied, "who, if he has but
a single sheep and it falls into a hole on the Sabbath,
will not lay hold of it and lift it out?
012:012 Is not a man, however, far superior to a sheep?
Therefore it is right to do good on the Sabbath."
012:013 Then He said to the man, "Stretch out your arm."
And he stretched it out, and it was restored quite sound
like the other.
012:014 But the Pharisees after leaving the synagogue consulted together
against Him, how they might destroy Him.
