At that time Jesus went through the fields on the Sabbath day; and his disciples, being in need of food, were taking the heads of grain.

And there was a man with a dead hand. And they put a question to him, saying, Is it right to make a man well on the Sabbath day? so that they might have something against him.

And he said to them, Which of you, having a sheep, if it gets into a hole on the Sabbath day, will not put out a helping hand and get it back?

Of how much more value is a man than a sheep! For this reason it is right to do good on the Sabbath day.

Now late on the Sabbath, when the dawn of the first day of the week was near, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the place where his body was.
