Luke 14:1-6

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

Jesus Heals the Man with Dropsy

14 On one occasion when Jesus^[a] was going to the house of a leader of the Pharisees to eat a meal on the sabbath, they were watching him closely. ² Just then, in front of him, there was a man who had dropsy. ³ And Jesus asked the lawyers and Pharisees, ‘Is it lawful to cure people on the sabbath, or not?’ ⁴ But they were silent. So Jesus^[b] took him and healed him, and sent him away. ⁵ Then he said to them, ‘If one of you has a child^[c] or an ox that has fallen into a well, will you not immediately pull it out on a sabbath day?’ ⁶ And they could not reply to this.
