Jesus Christ » History of » Dines with a pharisee on the sabbath (in peraea)
AND it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the principal Pharisees, to eat bread on the sabbath, that they were watchfully observant of him. And, behold, there was a certain man who had a dropsy, before him. And Jesus addressing himself to the teachers of the law and the Pharisees, spake, saying, Is it lawful to perform cures on the sabbath? read more.
And they said nothing. And he took him, and healed him, and sent him away; and addressing them, said, Whose ass or ox is fallen into a pit, and doth he not immediately pull him out on the sabbath-day? And they were unable to answer him in opposition to these things. Then he spake to those who were invited, a parable, when he observed how they chose the principal seats; saying unto them, When thou art invited of any person to a marriage entertainment, recline not on the principal couch; lest a more honourable personage than thyself be invited by him; and he that invited thee and him, coming say to thee, Yield this person the place; and so thou shalt begin with shame to go down to the lowest place. But when thou art invited, go and sit down in the lowest place; that when he who invited thee comes, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher; then shalt thou have respect in the presence of those who are seated with thee. For every one who exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. Then said he also to the person who had invited him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, invite not thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy relations, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also invite thee again, and a recompence be made to thee. But when thou makest an entertainment, invite the poor, the maimed, the halt, the blind: and thou shalt be blessed; because they cannot recompense thee: for a recompence shall be made thee at the resurrection of the just. Then one of those who sat at table hearing these things, said to him, Blessed is he who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God. And he said unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and invited many: and sent his servants at supper-time to say to the invited, Come; for all things are now ready. And they all began with one voice to frame excuses. The first said to him, I have bought a field, and I must of necessity go and survey it: I pray thee hold me excused. And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and am going to make a trial of them: I pray thee accept my excuse. And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come. And that servant returning, informed his master of these things. Then the master of the family, being highly incensed, said to his servant, Go out instantly into the streets and alleys of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind. And the servant said, Sir, it is done as thou orderedst, and yet there is room. And the master said to the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and urge them to come in, that my house may be filled. For I say unto you, That not one man of those who were invited shall taste of my supper.
And they said nothing. And he took him, and healed him, and sent him away; and addressing them, said, Whose ass or ox is fallen into a pit, and doth he not immediately pull him out on the sabbath-day? And they were unable to answer him in opposition to these things.

And he was teaching in one of the synagogues, on the sabbath. And, behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and unable to raise herself at all up. But when Jesus saw her, he called out aloud, and said to her, Woman, thou art delivered from thine infirmity. read more.
And he laid his hands upon her: and instantly she became erect, and glorified God. Then the ruler of the synagogue, indignant, that on the sabbath Jesus had performed the cure, addressing himself to the multitude, said, There are six days in which work is to be done: on these therefore come and be cured, and not on the sabbath-day. Then the Lord answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not every one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the manger, and lead him to water? And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, to be loosed from this bond on the sabbath-day? And when he had made this speech, all his opposers were covered with shame: and all the multitude rejoiced in all the glorious things which were done by him.

Jesus answered and said unto them, I have performed one work, and ye all marvel. Because Moses ordered you circumcision; (not that it comes from Moses, but from our ancestors;) so ye circumcise a man on the sabbath-day. If a man receive circumcision on the sabbath-day, that the law of Moses should not be violated; are ye incensed against me, because I have made a man whole on the sabbath-day? read more.
