Jesus, answering them, said, "Haven't you read what David did when he was hungry, he, and those who were with him;

4

how he entered into the house of God, and took and ate the show bread, and gave also to those who were with him, which is not lawful to eat except for the priests alone?"

5

He said to them, "The Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath."

6

It also happened on another Sabbath that he entered into the synagogue and taught. There was a man there, and his right hand was withered.

7

The scribes and the Pharisees watched him, to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath, that they might find an accusation against him.

8

But he knew their thoughts; and he said to the man who had the withered hand, "Rise up, and stand in the middle." He arose and stood.

9

Then Jesus said to them, "I will ask you something: Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good, or to do harm? To save a life, or to kill?"
