========================
Luke 6:1-11
========================
1One Sabbath Jesus was going
through the grainfields, and his disciples began to pick some heads of grain,
rub them in their hands and eat the kernels.
2Some of the Pharisees asked,
“Why are you doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”
3Jesus answered them, “Have
you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?
4He entered the house of God,
and taking the consecrated bread, he ate what is lawful only for priests to
eat. And he also gave some to his companions.”
5Then Jesus said to them,
“The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
6On another Sabbath he went
into the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was
shriveled.
7The Pharisees and the
teachers of the law were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched
him closely to see if he would heal on the Sabbath.
8But Jesus knew what they
were thinking and said to the man with the shriveled hand, “Get up and stand in
front of everyone.” So he got up and stood there.
9Then Jesus said to them, “I
ask you, which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life
or to destroy it?”
10He looked around at them
all, and then said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did so, and his hand
was completely restored.
11But the Pharisees and the
teachers of the law were furious and began to discuss with one another what
they might do to Jesus.
