Mark 2:23-3:6
\n23 One sabbath he was going through the grainfields; and as they made their way his disciples began to pluck heads of grain. 24 The Pharisees said to him, \u201cLook, why are they doing what is not lawful on the sabbath?\u201d 25 And he said to them, \u201cHave you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need of food? 26 He entered the house of God, when Abiathar was high priest, and ate the bread of the Presence, which it is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and he gave some to his companions.\u201d 27 Then he said to them, \u201cThe sabbath was made for humankind, and not humankind for the sabbath; 28 so the Son of Man is lord even of the sabbath.\u201d
\n1 Again he entered the synagogue, and a man was there who had a withered hand. 2 They watched him to see whether he would cure him on the sabbath, so that they might accuse him. 3 And he said to the man who had the withered hand, \u201cCome forward.\u201d 4 Then he said to them, \u201cIs it lawful to do good or to do harm on the sabbath, to save life or to kill?\u201d But they were silent. 5 He looked around at them with anger; he was grieved at their hardness of heart and said to the man, \u201cStretch out your hand.\u201d He stretched it out, and his hand was restored. 6 The Pharisees went out and immediately conspired with the Herodians against him, how to destroy him.
