Luke 6:9

Jesus said: I ask you, is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do harm? Is it lawful to save a life, or to destroy it?

Jesus spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees: Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath, or not?

How much more value is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath day!

Then he asked the Pharisees, Is it right to do good on the Sabbath or to do evil? Is it right to give life or to put to death? But they said nothing.

They went to another village.

Did Moses give you the law? Yet none of you obey the law! Why do you seek to kill me?
