And He said to them, The Son of Man is Lord also of the sabbath.

But He knew their thoughts and said to the man who had the withered hand, Rise up and stand in the middle. And he arose and stood.

Then Jesus said to them, I will ask you one thing: Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil, to save life, or to destroy it?
