Jesus Heals on the Sabbath

1 It happened that when He went into the house of one of the (a)leaders of the Pharisees on the Sabbath to eat bread, (A)they were watching Him closely. 2 And (b)there in front of Him was a man suffering from dropsy. 3 And Jesus answered and spoke to the (c)(B)lawyers and Pharisees, saying, (C)Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath, or not?” 4 But they kept silent. And He took hold of him and healed him, and sent him away. 5 And He said to them, (d)(D)Which one of you will have a son or an ox fall into a well, and will not immediately pull him out on a Sabbath day?” 6 (E)And they could make no reply to this.
