Jesus Is Lord of the Sabbath

At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. And His disciples were hungry, and began to pluck heads of grain and to eat.

And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to Him, “Look, Your disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath!”

Or have you not read in the law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath, and are blameless?

For the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”

Healing on the Sabbath

Now when He had departed from there, He went into their synagogue.

And behold, there was a man who had a withered hand. And they asked Him, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”—that they might accuse Him.

Then He said to them, “What man is there among you who has one sheep, and if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will not lay hold of it and lift it out?

Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep? Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”

And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath.

He Is Risen
