Luke 14:1-6 - A Man Suffering From Edema Healed
1 On one occasion, as Jesus was going, on a Sabbath into the house of one of the leading Pharisees to dine, they were watching him closely. 2 There he saw before him a man who was suffering from dropsy. 3 "Is it allowable," said Jesus, addressing the Students of the Law and the Pharisees, "to work a cure on the Sabbath, or is it not?" 4 They remained silent. Jesus took hold of the man and cured him, and sent him away. 5 And he said to them: "Which of you, finding that his son or his ox has fallen into a well, will not immediately pull him out on the Sabbath Day?" 6 And they could not make any answer to that.
