Luke 6:1-11

Jesus Is Lord of the Sabbath

1 aOn a Sabbath,
Some manuscripts  On the second first Sabbath (that is, on the second Sabbath after the first)
while he was going through the grainfields, his disciples cplucked and ate some heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands.
2But some of the Pharisees said, dWhy are you doing ewhat is not lawful to do on the Sabbath?” 3And Jesus answered them, f“Have you not read gwhat David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him: 4how he entered the house of God and took and ate hthe bread of the Presence, iwhich is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and also gave it to those with him?” 5And he said to them, j“The Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath.”

A Man with a Withered Hand

6On another Sabbath, khe entered the synagogue land was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was withered. 7And the scribes and the Pharisees mwatched him, to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath, nso that they might find a reason to accuse him. 8But ohe knew their thoughts, and he said to the man with the withered hand, Come and stand here.” And he rose and stood there. 9And Jesus said to them, “I ask you, pis it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save life or to destroy it?” 10And qafter looking around at them all he said to him, “Stretch out your hand.” And rhe did so, and his hand was restored. 11But they were filled with sfury and discussed with one another what they might do to Jesus.
