Book of Common Prayer
For This Reason I Pray For You To Know The Love of Christ And The Fullness of God
14 For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, 15 from Whom the whole[a] family in the heavens and on earth is named, 16 asking that He might grant to you in accordance with the riches of His glory that you be strengthened with power through His Spirit in your inner person 17 so-that[b] Christ may dwell[c] in your hearts through faith, 18 in-order-that[d] you, having[e] been rooted and founded in love, might be strong-enough[f] to grasp[g] together-with all the saints what is the width and length and height and depth, 19 and to know the love of Christ surpassing knowledge, in-order-that[h] you might be filled to all the fullness of God.
To God Be The Glory
20 Now to the One being able to do super-abundantly beyond all of the things which we ask or think[i] according to the power being at-work[j] in us— 21 to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus for all generations forever and ever, amen.
The Disciples Pluck Grain On The Sabbath. I Am Lord of The Sabbath
23 And it came about that He was passing through the grainfields on the Sabbath, and His disciples began to make their way while plucking[a] the heads [of grain]. 24 And the Pharisees were saying to Him, “Look! Why are they doing on the Sabbath what is not lawful?” 25 And He says to them, “Did you never read [in 1 Sam 21:1-6] what David did when he had a need and was hungry, he and the ones with him— 26 how he entered into the house of God in the time[b] of Abiathar the high-priest and ate the Bread of Presentation[c] which is not lawful for anyone to eat but the priests, and he gave it also to the ones being with him?” 27 And He was saying to them, “The Sabbath was made[d] for the sake of mankind, and not mankind for the sake of the Sabbath. 28 So then[e], the Son of Man is Lord even[f] of the Sabbath”.
Is It Lawful To Heal On The Sabbath? Jesus Heals a Man, Inflaming The Pharisees
3 And He entered again into the synagogue. And there was a man there having his hand having become-withered. 2 And they were closely-watching Him to see if He would cure him on the Sabbath, in order that they might accuse Him. 3 And He says to the man having the withered hand, “Arise into the middle”. 4 And He says to them, “Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do-harm[g], to save a life or to kill?” But the ones were being silent. 5 And having looked-around-at them with anger, while being deeply-grieved at the hardness of their heart, He says to the man, “Stretch out the hand”. And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored. 6 And having gone out, the Pharisees immediately were giving counsel against Him with the Herodians[h] so that they might destroy Him.
