And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. And as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read.

Then he went down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and he was teaching them on the Sabbath.

One Sabbath Jesus was going through the grain fields, and his disciples plucked and ate some heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands.

But some of the Pharisees said, "Why are you doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath?"

And he said to them, "The Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath."

On another Sabbath he entered the synagogue and taught, and a man was there whose right hand was withered.

The scribes and the Pharisees watched him closely, to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath, so that they might find an accusation against him.

Then Jesus said to them, "I ask you, which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?"

Now he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath.

But the ruler of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the people, "There are six days on which work ought to be done; come on those days and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day."

Then the Lord answered him, "You hypocrites! Does not each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or his donkey from the stall, and lead it away to water it?

Then ought not this woman, a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound for eighteen years, be loosed on the Sabbath day from this bond?"

One Sabbath, when he went to dine at the house of a ruler who belonged to the Pharisees, they watched him.

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

Then he said to them, "Which of you, having a son or an ox that has fallen into a well, will not immediately pull him out on the Sabbath day?"

It was the Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was about to begin.

And on the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
