Luke 6:1-11

The Disciples Pluck Grain on the Sabbath

6¹ Now it came about that on the Sabbath he was going through the fields of grain, and his disciples took the heads of the grain for food, crushing them in their hands. ² But some of the Pharisees said, Why do you do what it is not right to do on the Sabbath? ³ And Jesus said, Have you not seen in the Writings what David did when he was in need of food, he, and those who were with him; ⁴ How he went into the house of God and took for food the holy bread, which only the priests may take, and gave it to those who were with him? ⁵ And he said, The Son of man is lord even of the Sabbath.

The Man with a Withered Hand

⁶ And it came about, on another Sabbath, that he went into the Synagogue and was teaching there. And a man was there whose right hand was dead. ⁷ And the scribes and Pharisees were watching him to see if he would make him well on the Sabbath, so that they might be able to say something against him. ⁸ But he had knowledge of their thoughts; and he said to the man whose hand was dead, Get up and come into the middle. And he got up and came forward. ⁹ And Jesus said, I put the question to you, Is it right to do good on the Sabbath or to do evil? to give life or to take it away? ¹⁰ And looking round on all of them, he said to him, Put out your hand. And he did so: and his hand was made well. ¹¹ But they were full of wrath, and were talking together about what they might do to Jesus.
