Shortly after that he went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees. They were there to eat on the Sabbath. They watched him.

They did not speak. So he held the man and healed him and let him go. He said: Which of you who has an ass or a bull that falls into a well, and will not immediately pull him up on a Sabbath day? Again they could not answer.
