But some of the Pharisees said to them, Why do ye what is not lawful to do on the sabbath?

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,

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

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.

And he said, To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest in parables, in order that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.

for they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down in companies by fifties.

But Jesus said to him, Suffer the dead to bury their own dead, but do thou go and announce the kingdom of God.

And another also said, I will follow thee, Lord, but first allow me to bid adieu to those at my house.
