Luke 14 — Context

1

Healing Again on the Sabbath Now one Sabbath when Jesus went to dine at the house of a leader of the Pharisees, they were watching him closely.

2

There right in front of him was a man whose body was swollen with fluid.

3

So Jesus asked the experts in religious law and the Pharisees,“Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”

4

But they remained silent. So Jesus took hold of the man, healed him, and sent him away.

5

Then he said to them,“Which of you, if you have a son or an ox that has fallen into a well on a Sabbath day, will not immediately pull him out?”
