[1] At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat. [2] But when the Pharisees it, they said unto him, Behold, disciples do that which not lawful to do upon the sabbath day. [3] But he said unto them, not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him; [4] How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, only for the priests? [5] Or not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and blameless? [6] But I say That in this place the temple. [7] But if ye had known what I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless. [8] For the Son of man Lord of the sabbath day. [9] And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue: [10] And, behold, a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him. [11] And he said unto them, What man among that shall have one sheep, and if fall into a pit on the sabbath day, not lay hold on it, and lift it out? [12] How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days. [13] Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other. [14] Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him. [15] But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all; [16] And charged them make him known: [17] it might be fulfilled which by Esaias the prophet, saying, [18] Behold servant, whom I have chosen; beloved, in whom soul is well pleased: I will put spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles. [19] not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets. [20] A bruised reed not break, and smoking flax not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory. [21] And his name the Gentiles trust.
