'Is It Lawful' in the Bible
A man was there who had a withered hand. And they asked Jesus, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?" so that they could accuse him.
Then some Pharisees came to him in order to test him. They asked, "Is it lawful to divorce a wife for any cause?"
Then he said to them, "Is it lawful to do good on the Sabbath, or evil, to save a life or destroy it?" But they were silent.
Then some Pharisees came, and to test him they asked, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?"
Then Jesus said to them, "I ask you, is it lawful to do good on the Sabbath or to do evil, to save a life or to destroy it?"
So Jesus asked the experts in religious law and the Pharisees, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?"
