But the Master answered, "You hypocrites! Does not every one of you untie his ox or his donkey from the stall on the Sabbath and lead him away to water him?

For in the Law of Moses it reads, "You shall not muzzle an ox that is treading out the grain." Is it about the oxen that God is concerned?

For the Scripture says, "You must not muzzle an ox when it is treading out the grain," and the workman deserves his wages.

The first animal was like a lion, the second was like an ox, the third had a face like a man's, and the fourth was like an eagle flying.
