Matthew 12:2-14

Matthew 12:2-14

[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.
