Luke 14:1-6

International Children’s Bible

Is It Right to Heal on the Sabbath?

14 On a Sabbath day, Jesus went to the home of a leading Pharisee to eat with him. The people there were all watching Jesus very closely. ² A man with dropsy^[a] was brought before Jesus. ³ Jesus said to the Pharisees and teachers of the law, “Is it right or wrong to heal on the Sabbath day?” ⁴ But they would not answer his question. So Jesus took the man, healed him, and sent him away. ⁵ Jesus said to the Pharisees and teachers of the law, “If your son^[b] or ox falls into a well on the Sabbath day, will you not pull him out quickly?” ⁶ And they could not answer him.
