Luke 6:3-16 in English

³ And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read even this, what David did, when he was hungry, he, and they that were with him;

⁴ how he entered into the house of God, and took and ate the showbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat save for the priests alone?

⁵ And he said unto them, The Son of man is lord of the sabbath.

⁶ And it came to pass on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man there, and his right hand was withered.

⁷ And the scribes and the Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath; that they might find how to accuse him.

⁸ But he knew their thoughts; and he said to the man that had his hand withered, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth.

⁹ And Jesus said unto them, I ask you, Is it lawful on the sabbath to do good, or to do harm? to save a life, or to destroy it?

¹⁰ And he looked round about on them all, and said unto him, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored.

¹¹ But they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus.

¹² And it came to pass in these days, that he went out into the mountain to pray; and he continued all night in prayer to God.

¹³ And when it was day, he called his disciples; and he chose from them twelve, whom also he named apostles:

¹⁴ Simon, whom he also named Peter, and Andrew his brother, and James and John, and Philip and Bartholomew,

¹⁵ and Matthew and Thomas, and James the son of Alphæus, and Simon who was called the Zealot,

¹⁶ and Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor;

³ And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was an hungred, and they which were with him;

⁴ How he went into the house of God, and did take and eat the shewbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone?

⁵ And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.

⁶ And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man whose right hand was withered.

⁷ And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him.

⁸ But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man which had the withered hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth.

⁹ Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it?

¹⁰ And looking round about upon them all, he said unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored whole as the other.

¹¹ And they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus.

¹² And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.

¹⁴ Simon, (whom he also named Peter,) and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,

¹⁵ Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphæus, and Simon called Zelotes,

¹⁶ And Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, which also was the traitor.

¹⁵ and Matthew and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon which was called the Zealot,

¹⁶ and Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, which was the traitor;

³ Jesus wanted to show them that the record in Scriptures indicated that God permitted people to disobey certain religious laws when they needed food. So he replied, “ It is written in the Scriptures what our revered ancestor, King David did when he and the men with him were hungry. You have read about that, ◄ but you do not think about what it implies/so why do you not think about what it implies?► RHQ

⁴ David entered God's big worship tent and asked for some food. The high priest gave him the bread that the priests had presented to God. It was permitted in one of Moses' laws that only the priests could eat that bread. But even though David was not a priest, he ate some, and gave some to the men who were with him. And God did not consider that what David did was wrong!”

⁵ Jesus also said to them, “ I am the one who came from heaven, so I have the authority to determine what is right for my disciples to do on the day of rest!”

⁶ Another ◄Sabbath/Jewish day of rest► Jesus entered a ◄synagogue/Jewish meeting place► and taught the people. There was a man there whose right hand was shriveled.

⁷ The men who taught the Jewish laws and the Pharisees who were there watched Jesus, to see if he would heal the man ◄on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day►. They did this so that, if he healed the man, they would accuse him of disobeying their laws by working on the day of rest.

⁸ But Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said to the man with the shriveled hand, “Come and stand here in front of everyone!” So the man got up and stood there.

⁹ Then Jesus said to the others, “I ask you this: Do the laws that God gave Moses permit people to do what is good ◄on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day►, or do they permit people to harm others? Do they permit us to save a person's life on our day of rest or to let him die HYP by refusing to help him?”

¹⁰ They refused to answer him. So after he looked around at them all, he said to the man, “Stretch out your shriveled hand!” The man did that, and his hand became all right again!

¹¹ But the men who taught the Jewish laws and the Pharisees were very angry, and they discussed with one another what they could do to get rid of Jesus.

¹² About that time Jesus went up into the hills to pray. He prayed to God all night.

¹³ The next day he summoned all his disciples to come near him. From them he chose twelve men, whom he called apostles.

¹⁴ They were Simon, to whom he gave the new name, Peter; Andrew, Peter's younger brother; James and his younger brother, John; Philip; Bartholomew;

¹⁵ Matthew, whose other name was Levi; Thomas; another James, the son of Alpheus; Simon, who belonged to the party that encouraged people to rebel against the Roman government;

¹⁶ Judas, the son of another James; and Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas from the town of Kerioth), the one who later ◄betrayed Jesus./enabled the Jewish leaders to seize Jesus.►

³ 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 God’s house, 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?”

¹⁰ He looked around at them all, and said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did, and his hand was restored as sound as the other.

¹¹ But they were filled with rage, and talked with one another about what they might do to Jesus.

¹² In these days, he went out to the mountain to pray, and he continued all night in prayer to God.

¹³ When it was day, he called his disciples, and from them he chose twelve, whom he also named apostles:

¹⁴ Simon, whom he also named Peter; Andrew, his brother; James; John; Philip; Bartholomew;

¹⁵ Matthew; Thomas; James the son of Alphaeus; Simon who was called the Zealot;

¹⁶ Judas the son of James; and Judas Iscariot, who also became a traitor.

³ 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 God’s house, 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?”

¹⁰ He looked around at them all, and said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did, and his hand was restored as sound as the other.

¹¹ But they were filled with rage, and talked with one another about what they might do to Jesus.

¹² In these days, he went out to the mountain to pray, and he continued all night in prayer to God.

¹³ When it was day, he called his disciples, and from them he chose twelve, whom he also named apostles:

¹⁴ Simon, whom he also named Peter; Andrew, his brother; James; John; Philip; Bartholomew;

¹⁵ Matthew; Thomas; James the son of Alphaeus; Simon who was called the Zealot;

¹⁶ Judas the son of James; and Judas Iscariot, who also became a traitor.

³ 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 God’s house, 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?”

¹⁰ He looked around at them all, and said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did, and his hand was restored as sound as the other.

¹¹ But they were filled with rage, and talked with one another about what they might do to Jesus.

¹² In these days, he went out to the mountain to pray, and he continued all night in prayer to God.

¹³ When it was day, he called his disciples, and from them he chose twelve, whom he also named apostles:

¹⁴ Simon, whom he also named Peter; Andrew, his brother; James; John; Philip; Bartholomew;

¹⁵ Matthew; Thomas; James the son of Alphaeus; Simon who was called the Zealot;

¹⁶ Judas the son of James; and Judas Iscariot, who also became a traitor.

³ And Jesus said, Have you not seen in the Writings what David did when he was in need of food, he, and those who were with him;

⁴ How he went into the house of God and took for food the holy bread, which only the priests may take, and gave it to those who were with him?

⁵ And he said, The Son of man is lord even of the Sabbath.

⁶ And it came about, on another Sabbath, that he went into the Synagogue and was teaching there. And a man was there whose right hand was dead.

⁷ And the scribes and Pharisees were watching him to see if he would make him well on the Sabbath, so that they might be able to say something against him.

⁸ But he had knowledge of their thoughts; and he said to the man whose hand was dead, Get up and come into the middle. And he got up and came forward.

⁹ And Jesus said, I put the question to you, Is it right to do good on the Sabbath or to do evil? to give life or to take it away?

¹⁰ And looking round on all of them, he said to him, Put out your hand. And he did so: and his hand was made well.

¹¹ But they were full of wrath, and were talking together about what they might do to Jesus.

¹² And it came about in those days that he went out to the mountain for prayer; and he was all night in prayer to God.

¹³ And the day came and, turning to his disciples, he made a selection from among them of twelve, to whom he gave the name of Apostles;

¹⁴ Simon, to whom he gave the name of Peter, and Andrew, his brother, and James and John and Philip and Bartholomew

¹⁵ And Matthew and Thomas and James, the son of Alphaeus, and Simon, who was named the Zealot,

¹⁶ And Judas, the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, he who was false to him.

³ And Jesus answering said to them, Have ye not read so much as this, what David did when he hungered, he and those who were with him,

⁴ how he entered into the house of God and took the shewbread and ate, and gave to those also who were with him, which it is not lawful that any eat, unless the priests alone?

⁵ And he said to them, The Son of man is Lord of the sabbath also.

⁶ And it came to pass on another sabbath also that he entered into the synagogue and taught; and there was a man there, and his right hand was withered.

⁷ And the scribes and the Pharisees were watching if he would heal on the sabbath, that they might find something of which to accuse him.

⁸ But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man who had the withered hand, Get up, and stand in the midst. And having risen up he stood there.

⁹ Jesus therefore said to them, I will ask you if it is lawful on the sabbath to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it?

¹⁰ And having looked around on them all, he said to him, Stretch out thy hand. And he did so and his hand was restored as the other.

¹¹ But they were filled with madness, and they spoke together among themselves what they should do to Jesus.

¹² And it came to pass in those days that he went out into the mountain to pray, and he spent the night in prayer to God.

¹³ And when it was day he called his disciples, and having chosen out twelve from them, whom also he named apostles:

¹⁴ Simon, to whom also he gave the name of Peter, and Andrew his brother, and James and John, and Philip and Bartholomew,

¹⁵ and Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus and Simon who was called Zealot,

¹⁶ and Judas brother of James, and Judas Iscariote, who was also his betrayer;

³ And Jesus answering them, said: Have you not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was hungry, and they that were with him:

⁴ How he went into the house of God, and took and ate the bread of proposition, and gave to them that were with him, which is not lawful to eat but only for the priests?

⁵ And he said to them: The Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.

⁶ And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue, and taught. And there was a man, whose right hand was withered.

⁷ And the scribes and Pharisees watched if he would heal on the sabbath; that they might find an accusation against him.

⁸ But he knew their thoughts; and said to the man who had the withered hand: Arise, and stand forth in the midst. And rising he stood forth.

⁹ Then Jesus said to them: I ask you, if it be lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil; to save life, or to destroy?

¹⁰ And looking round about on them all, he said to the man: Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched it forth: and his hand was restored.

¹¹ And they were filled with madness; and they talked one with another, what they might do to Jesus.

¹² And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and he passed the whole night in the prayer of God.

¹³ And when day was come, he called unto him his disciples; and he chose twelve of them (whom also he named apostles).

¹⁴ Simon, whom he surnamed Peter, and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,

¹⁵ Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alpheus, and Simon who is called Zelotes,

¹⁶ And Jude, the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, who was the traitor.

³ But Jesus answering them said, “Have you not even read this, what David did when he became hungry, he and those who were with him:

⁴ how he entered into the house of God, took and ate the showbread, and also gave some to those with him, which is not lawful for any but the priests to eat?”

⁵ And He said to them, “The Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”

⁶ Now it happened that on another Sabbath, He entered the synagogue and was teaching. And there was a man there whose right hand was withered.

⁷ And the scribes and Pharisees were observing if whether He would heal on the Sabbath, that they might find an accusation against Him.

⁸ But He knew their thoughts, and said to the man who had the withered hand, “Arise and stand in the midst.” And he arose and stood.

⁹ Then Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one thing: Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?”

¹⁰ And when He had looked around at them all, He said to him, “Stretch out your hand.” And he did so, and his hand was restored as whole as the other.

¹¹ But they were filled with fury, and they were discussing with one another what they might do to Jesus.

¹² Now it came to pass in those days that He went out to the mountain to pray, and He was spending the night in prayer to God.

¹³ And when it became day, He summoned His disciples, and having chosen twelve from them, whom He also named apostles:

¹⁴ He chose Simon, whom He also named Peter, and Andrew his brother; James and John; Philip and Bartholomew;

¹⁵ Matthew and Thomas; James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon called the Zealot;

¹⁶ Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot who also became a traitor.

³ So in answer to them Jesus said: “Have you not even read this, what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him:

⁴ how he went into the house of God, took and ate the showbread, and even gave it to those with him—that which only the priests are allowed to eat?”

⁵ Then He said to them, “The Son of the Man is Lord even of the Sabbath!”

⁶ Now it happened on a different Sabbath that He entered the synagogue and began to teach. Well there was a man there whose right hand was shriveled;

⁷ so the scribes and the Pharisees started watching, to see if He would heal on the Sabbath, so that they might find an accusation against Him.

⁸ But He knew their thoughts and said to the man with the shriveled hand, “Get up and stand in the center.” So he got up 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 evil, to save life or to kill?”

¹⁰ And when He had looked around at them all, He said to him, “Stretch out your hand!” So he did that, and his hand was restored, as sound as the other.

¹¹ But they were filled with rage, and began to discuss with one another what they might do to Jesus.

¹² Now it happened in those days that He went out to the mountain to pray, and He continued all night in prayer to God.

¹³ When it was day He called His disciples, and from them He chose twelve, whom He also named apostles:

¹⁴ Simon (whom He also named Peter) and Andrew his brother, James and John, Phillip and Bartholomew,

¹⁵ Matthew and Thomas, James (the son of Alphaeus) and Simon (the one called ‘Zealot’),

¹⁶ Judas of James and Judas Iscariot (who also became ‘traitor’).

³ Jesus replied, “Have you never read what David did when he and his men were hungry?

⁴ How he went into the house of God and took the consecrated bread? He ate it, and gave it to his men too. That's not permitted either. The consecrated bread is only for the priests.”

⁵ Then he told them, “The Son of man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

⁶ On another Sabbath he went into the synagogue to teach. A man was there with a crippled right hand.

⁷ The religious teachers and the Pharisees were observing Jesus closely to see if he would heal on the Sabbath. They wanted to find something to accuse him of.

⁸ But Jesus knew what was in their minds. He told the man with the crippled hand, “Get up, and stand here in front of everyone.” The man got up and stood there.

⁹ Then Jesus turned to them and said, “Let me ask you a question. Is it legal to do good on the Sabbath, or to do bad? To save life, or to destroy it?”

¹⁰ He looked round at all of them there. Then he said to the man, “Hold out your hand.” The man did so, and his hand became like new.

¹¹ But they flew into a rage, and began to discuss what they could do to Jesus.

¹² One day shortly after, Jesus went up a mountain to pray. He remained there all night, praying to God.

¹³ When morning came he called together his disciples, and chose twelve of them. These are the names of the apostles:

¹⁴ Simon (also called Peter by Jesus), Andrew his brother, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew,

¹⁵ Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Revolutionary,

¹⁶ Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot (who became a traitor).

³ Then Iesus answered them, and said, Haue ye not read this, that Dauid did when he himselfe was an hungred, and they which were with him,

⁴ Howe he went into the house of God, and tooke, and ate the shewbread, and gaue also to them which were with him, which was not lawful to eate, but for the Priests onely?

⁵ And he sayd vnto them, The Sonne of man is Lord also of the Sabbath day.

⁶ It came to passe also on another Sabbath, that hee entred into the Synagogue, and taught, and there was a man, whose right hand was dryed vp.

⁷ And the Scribes and Pharises watched him, whether he would heale on the Sabbath day, that they might finde an accusation against him.

⁸ But he knew their thoughts, and sayd to the man which had the withered hand, Arise, and stand vp in the middes. And hee arose, and stoode vp.

⁹ Then sayd Iesus vnto them, I will aske you a question, Whether is it lawfull on the Sabbath dayes to doe good, or to doe euill? to saue life, or to destroy?

¹⁰ And he behelde them all in compasse, and sayd vnto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he did so, and his hand was restored againe, as whole as the other.

¹¹ Then they were filled full of madnes, and communed one with another, what they might doe to Iesus.

¹² And it came to passe in those dayes, that he went into a mountaine to praye, and spent the night in prayer to God.

¹³ And when it was day, he called his disciples, and of them he chose twelue which also he called Apostles.

¹⁴ (Simon whome he named also Peter, and Andrew his brother, Iames and Iohn, Philippe and Bartlemewe:

¹⁵ Matthewe and Thomas: Iames the sonne of Alpheus, and Simon called Zelous,

¹⁶ Iudas Iames brother, and Iudas Iscariot, which also was the traitour.)

³ And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was a hungred, and they which were with him;

⁴ how he went into the house of God, and did take and eat the shewbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone?

⁵ And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.

⁶ And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man whose right hand was withered.

⁷ And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him.

⁸ But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man which had the withered hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth.

⁹ Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it?

¹⁰ And looking round about upon them all, he said unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored whole as the other.

¹¹ And they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus.

¹² And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.

¹³ And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles;

¹⁴ Simon, (whom he also named Peter,) and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,

¹⁵ Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alpheus, and Simon called Zelotes,

¹⁶ and Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, which also was the traitor.

³ And Jesus answering them, said, Have ye not even read what David did, when he was himself hungry, and they who were with him?

⁴ how he went into the house of God, and took and ate the show-bread, and gave it also to those who were with him, which it is not lawful for any to eat but the priests alone?

⁵ And he said to them, The Son of man is lord even of the sabbath.

⁶ And it came to pass on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue, and taught; and there was a man there whose right hand was withered.

⁷ And the scribes and the Pharisees were watching 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 having the withered hand, Rise, and stand up in the midst. And he arose, and stood up.

⁹ And Jesus said to them, I ask you whether it is lawful on the sabbath to do good, or to do evil; to save life, or to kill?

¹⁰ And looking round on them all, he said to him, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so; and his hand was restored.

¹¹ But they were filled with madness, and conferred with one another as to what they should do to Jesus.

¹² And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into the mountain to pray; and he continued all night in prayer to God.

¹³ And when it was day, he called to him his disciples; and he chose from them twelve, whom he also named apostles;

¹⁴ Simon, whom he named Peter, and Andrew his brother, and James and John, and Philip and Bartholomew,

¹⁵ and Matthew and Thomas, and James the Son of Alphaeus, and Simon called the zealot,

¹⁶ and Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.

³ Jesus' answer was, “Haven't you read even of what David did, when he was hungry, he and his companions —

⁴ That he went into the house of God, and took the consecrated bread and ate it, and gave some to his companions, though only the priests are allowed to eat it?”

⁵ Then Jesus added, “The Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath.”

⁶ On another Sabbath Jesus went into the synagogue and taught; and there was a man there whose right hand was withered.

⁷ The teachers of the Law and the Pharisees watched Jesus closely, to see if he would work cures on the Sabbath, so that they might find a charge to bring against him.

⁸ Jesus, however, knew what was in the their minds, and said to the man whose hand was withered, “Stand up and come out into the middle.” The man stood up;

⁹ and Jesus said to them, “I ask you, is it allowable to do good on the Sabbath — or harm? To save a life, or let it perish?”

¹⁰ Then, looking around at them all, he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” The man did so; and his hand had become sound.

¹¹ But the teachers of the Law and the Pharisees were mad with rage, and consulted together what they could do to Jesus.

¹² Now about that time, Jesus went out, up the hill, to pray, and spent the whole night in prayer to God.

¹³ When day came, he summoned his disciples, and chose twelve of them, whom he also named ‘apostles.’

¹⁴ They were Simon (whom Jesus also named Peter), and his brother Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew,

¹⁵ Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Simon known as the Zealot,

¹⁶ Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who proved a traitor.

³ Jesus' answer was, “Haven't you read even of what David did, when he was hungry, he and his companions —

⁴ That he went into the house of God, and took the consecrated bread and ate it, and gave some to his companions, though only the priests are allowed to eat it?”

⁵ Then Jesus added, “The Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath.”

⁶ On another Sabbath Jesus went into the synagogue and taught; and there was a man there whose right hand was withered.

⁷ The teachers of the Law and the Pharisees watched Jesus closely, to see if he would work cures on the Sabbath, so that they might find a charge to bring against him.

⁸ Jesus, however, knew what was in the their minds, and said to the man whose hand was withered, “Stand up and come out into the middle.” The man stood up;

⁹ and Jesus said to them, “I ask you, is it allowable to do good on the Sabbath — or harm? To save a life, or let it perish?”

¹⁰ Then, looking around at them all, he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” The man did so; and his hand had become sound.

¹¹ But the teachers of the Law and the Pharisees were mad with rage, and consulted together what they could do to Jesus.

¹² Now about that time, Jesus went out, up the hill, to pray, and spent the whole night in prayer to God.

¹³ When day came, he summoned his disciples, and chose twelve of them, whom he also named ‘apostles.’

¹⁴ They were Simon (whom Jesus also named Peter), and his brother Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew,

¹⁵ Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Simon known as the Zealot,

¹⁶ Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who proved a traitor.

³ Yeshua Salvation, answering them, said, “Haven’t you read what David Beloved did when he was hungry, he, and those who were with him;

⁴ how he entered into God’s house, and took and ate the show bread from the table of Yahweh, 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 ·To cease·.”

⁶ It also happened on another Sabbath ·To cease· that he entered into the synagogue and taught. There was a man there, and his right hand was withered.

⁷ The Torah-Teachers and the Pharisees Separated watched him, to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath ·To cease·, 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 Yeshua Salvation said to them, “I will ask you something: Is it lawful on the Sabbath ·To cease· to do good, or to do harm? To save a life, or to kill?”

¹⁰ He looked around at them all, and said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did, and his hand was restored as sound as the other.

¹¹ But they were filled with rage, and talked with one another about what they might do to Yeshua Salvation.

¹² In these days, he went out to the mountain to pray, and he continued all night in prayer to God.

¹³ When it was day, he called his disciples, and from them he chose twelve, whom he also named apostles:

¹⁴ Simeon Hearing, whom he also named Peter Rock; Andrew Manly, his brother; James Surplanter; John Yah is gracious; Philip Loves horses; Bartholomew Son who suspends waters;

⁵ And he sayde vnto them: The sonne of man is Lorde of the saboth daye.

⁶ And it fortuned in a nother saboth also that he entred in to the sinagoge and taught. And ther was a man whose right honde was dryed vp.

⁷ And the Scribes and Pharises watched him to se whether he wolde heale on the Saboth daye that they myght fynde an accusacion agaynst him.

⁸ But he knewe their thoughtes and sayde to the man which had the wyddred honde: Ryse vp and stonde forthe in the myddes. And he arose and stepped forthe.

⁹ Then sayde Iesus vnto them: I will axe you a question: Whether is it laufull on the saboth dayes to do good or to do evill? to save lyfe or for to destroye it?

¹⁰ And he behelde them all in compasse and sayd vnto the man: Stretche forth thy honde. And he dyd so and his honde was restored and made as whoole as the other.

¹¹ And they were filled full of madnes and communed one with another what they myght do to Iesu.

⁴ He went into the house of God, and took the bread of the presence and ate some of it, and also gave some to the men who were with him to eat, even though it was only lawful for the priests to eat it.”

⁵ Then he said to them, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

⁶ It happened on another Sabbath that he went into the synagogue and taught the people there. A man was there whose right hand was withered.

⁷ The scribes and the Pharisees were watching him closely to see whether he would heal someone on the Sabbath, so that they might find a reason to accuse him.

⁸ But he knew what they were thinking and he said to the man whose hand was withered, “Get up, and stand here in the middle of everyone.” So the man got up and stood there.

⁹ Jesus said to them, “I ask you, is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save a life or to destroy it?”

¹⁰ Then he looked around at them all and said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did so, and his hand was restored.
