006:003 "Have you never read so much as this," answered Jesus—"what David
did when he and his followers were hungry;
006:004 how he entered the house of God and took and ate the Presented Loaves and gave some to his followers—loaves which none but the Priests are allowed to eat?"
006:005 "The Son of Man," He added, "is Lord of the Sabbath also."
006:006 On another Sabbath He had gone to the synagogue and was
teaching there; and in the congregation was a man whose
right arm was withered.
006:007 The Scribes and the Pharisees were on the watch to see whether
He would cure him on the Sabbath that they might be able
to bring an accusation against Him.
006:008 He knew their thoughts, and said to the man with the
withered arm, "Rise, and stand there in the middle."
And he rose and stood there.
006:009 Then Jesus said to them, "I put it to you all whether we
are allowed to do good on the Sabbath, or to do evil;
to save a life, or to destroy it."
006:010 And looking round upon them all He said to the man, "Stretch out
your arm." He did so, and the arm was restored.
006:011 But they were filled with madness, and began to discuss
with one another what they should do to Jesus.
006:012 About that time He went out on one occasion into the hill
country to pray; and He remained all night in prayer to God.
