Luke 14:1-6

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

Jesus Heals the Man with Dropsy

14 One sabbath when he went to dine at the house of a ruler who belonged to the Pharisees, they were watching him. ² And behold, there was a man before him who had dropsy. ³ And Jesus spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath, or not?” ⁴ But they were silent. Then he took him and healed him, and let him go. ⁵ And he said to them, “Which of you, having an ass^[a] or an ox that has fallen into a well, will not immediately pull him out on a sabbath day?” ⁶ And they could not reply to this.
