When the Pharisees saw that, they said unto him, "Behold: thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the Sabbath day." He said unto them, "Have ye not read what David did, when he was a hungered, and they also which were with him?

Or have ye not read in the law, how that the priests in the temple break the Sabbath day, and yet are blameless? But I say unto you, that here is one greater than the temple. Wherefore if ye had wist, what this saying meaneth, 'I require mercy and not sacrifice,' ye would never have condemned innocents. For the son of man is Lord even of the Sabbath day."

And how much is a man better then a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do a good deed on the Sabbath day." Then said he to the man, "Stretch forth thy hand." And he stretched it forth, and it was made whole again like unto the other. Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.

The chief priests, and the elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, for to put him to death, but found none: insomuch that when many false witnesses came, yet found they none.

And the high priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus, to put him to death; And they found none. read more.

And there arose certain and brought false witness against him, saying, "We heard him say, 'I will destroy this temple made with hands, and within three days I will build another, made without hands.'" But their witness agreed not together. And the highest priest stood up amongst them all, and asked Jesus saying, "Answerest thou nothing? How is it that these bear witness against thee?" And he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the highest priest asked him, and said unto him, "Art thou the Christ, the son of the blessed?" And Jesus said, "I am.

Ye have heard the blasphemy, what think ye?" And they all gave sentence that he was worthy of death.
