Luke 6:1-11

Jesus Is Lord of the Sabbath

1 s On a Sabbath, 1 while he was going through the grainfields, his disciples t plucked and ate some heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands. 2 But some of the Pharisees said, u "Why are you doing v what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath?" 3 And Jesus answered them, w "Have you not read x what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him: 4 how he entered the house of God and took and ate y the bread of the Presence, y which is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and also gave it to those with him?" 5 And he said to them, z "The Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath."

A Man with a Withered Hand

6 On another Sabbath, a he entered the synagogue b and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was withered. 7 And the scribes and the Pharisees c watched him, to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath, d so that they might find a reason to accuse him. 8 But e he knew their thoughts, and he said to the man with the withered hand, "Come and stand here." And he rose and stood there. 9 And Jesus said to them, "I ask you, f is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save life or to destroy it?" 10 And g after looking around at them all he said to him, "Stretch out your hand." And h he did so, and his hand was restored. 11 But they were filled with i fury and discussed with one another what they might do to Jesus.
