yourselves on the choicest parts of every offering of my people Israel?’

heard all that his sons did to Israel, and they lay with the women who served at

they brought into Jerusalem on the Sabbath day. And I warned them on the day
when they sold food. 16Tyrians also, who lived in the city, brought in
fish and all kinds of goods and sold them on the Sabbath to the people of
Judah, in Jerusalem itself! 17Then I confronted the nobles of Judah and
said to them, “What is this evil thing that you are doing, profaning the
Sabbath day? 18Did not your fathers act in this way, and did not
our God bring all this disaster on us and on this city? Now you are bringing more
wrath on Israel by profaning the Sabbath.” 19As soon as it began to grow dark at the
gates of Jerusalem before the Sabbath, I commanded that the doors should be
shut and gave orders that they should not be opened until after the Sabbath.
And I stationed some of my servants at the gates, that no load might be brought
in on the Sabbath day.
21But I warned them and said to them, “Why
do you lodge outside the wall? If you do so again, I will lay hands on you.”
From that time on they did not come on the Sabbath. 22Then I commanded the Levites that they

force against you.” From that time on they did not come on the sabbath. 22And I

righteous shall flourish like the palm tree.
13 They are
planted in Yahweh’s house.
14 They will
still produce fruit in old age.
15 to show
that Yahweh is upright.

Matthew 12:1–13 (ESV) Back
1At that time Jesus went through the
grainfields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry, and they began to pluck
heads of grain and to eat. 2But when the Pharisees saw it, they said
to him, “Look, your disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on the
Sabbath.” 3He said to them, “Have you not read what David did
when he was hungry, and those who were with him: 4how he entered the house of God and ate
the bread of the Presence, which it was not lawful for him to eat nor for those
who were with him, but only for the priests? 5Or have you not read in the Law how on the
Sabbath the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath and are guiltless? 6I tell
you, something greater than the temple is here. 7And if you had known what this means, ‘I
desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the guiltless. 8For the
Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath.” 9He went on from there and entered their
synagogue. 10And a man was there with a withered hand. And they
asked him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”—so that they might accuse
him. 11He said to them, “Which one of you who has a sheep, if it falls into a pit
on the Sabbath, will not take hold of it and lift it out? 12Of how much more value is a man than a
sheep! So it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.” 13Then he said to the man, “Stretch out your
hand.” And the man stretched it out, and it was restored, healthy like the
other.
Matthew 12:1-13 (KJ3) Back
1¶ At that time on the sabbath,
Jesus went through the grain fields. And His disciples were hungry, and began
to pluck heads of grain and to eat.
2 But seeing, the Pharisees said
to Him, Behold, your disciples are doing what it is not lawful to do on a
sabbath.
3 But He said to them, Have you
not read what David did, when he and those with him hungered?
4 How he entered into the house of
God, and he ate the Loaves of the Presentation, which it was not lawful for him
to eat, nor for the ones with him, but for the priests only?
5 Or have you not read in the Law
that on the sabbaths the priests in the temple profane the sabbath and are
guiltless?
6 But I say to you, One greater
than the temple is here.
7 But if you had known what this
is, “I desire mercy and not sacrifice,” you would not have condemned the
guiltless.†
8 For the Son of Man is also Lord
of the sabbath.
9 And moving from there, He came
into their synagogue.
10 And, behold, a man having a withered
hand was there. And they asked Him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the
sabbaths? (that they might accuse Him).
11 But He said to them, What man of
you will be who will have one sheep, and if this one fall into a pit on the
sabbaths, will he not lay hold of it and raise it up?
12 How much more, then, does a man
excel a sheep! So that it is lawful to do well on the sabbath.
13 Then He said to the man, Stretch
out your hand! And he stretched out. And it was restored sound as the other.

1At that time Jesus went through the
grainfields on the Sabbath, and His disciples became hungry and began to pick
the heads of grain and eat. 2But when the Pharisees saw this, they said
to Him, “Look, Your disciples do what is not lawful to do on a Sabbath.” 3But He
said to them, “Have you not read what David did when he became hungry, he and
his companions, 4how he entered the house of God, and they ate the
consecrated bread, which was not lawful for him to eat nor for those with him,
but for the priests alone? 5“Or have you not read in the Law, that on
the Sabbath the priests in the temple break the Sabbath and are innocent? 6“But I
say to you that something greater than the temple is here.
7“But if you had
known what this means, ‘I desire compassion, and not a sacrifice,’ you would
not have condemned the innocent. 8“For the Son of Man is Lord of the
Sabbath.” 9Departing from there, He went into their
synagogue. 10And a man was there whose hand was withered. And
they questioned Jesus, asking, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”—so that
they might accuse Him. 11And He said to them, “What man is there among you
who has a sheep, and if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will he not take
hold of it and lift it out? 12“How much more valuable then is a man than
a sheep! So then, it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”
13Then He said to
the man, “Stretch out your hand!” He stretched it out, and it was restored to
normal, like the other.

1 At that time, Jesus went on the
Sabbath day through the grain fields. His disciples were hungry and began to
pluck heads of grain and to eat.
2 But the Pharisees, when they saw it, said to
him, “Behold, your disciples do what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath.”
3 But he said to them, “Haven’t you read what David did, when he was hungry, and
those who were with him;
4 how he entered into God’s house, and ate the show bread,
which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for those who were with him, but
only for the priests?✡
5 Or have you not read in the law, that
on the Sabbath day, the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath, and are
guiltless?
6 But I tell you that one greater than
the temple is here.
7 But if you had known what this means, ‘I desire mercy,
and not sacrifice,’✡ you wouldn’t have condemned the guiltless.
8 For the Son of Man is Lord of the
Sabbath.”
9 He departed there, and went into their
synagogue.
10 And behold there was a man with a withered
hand. They asked him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath day?” that they
might accuse him.
11 He said to them, “What man is there among you, who has one sheep, and if
this one falls into a pit on the Sabbath day, won’t he grab on to it, and lift
it out?
12 Of how much more value then is a man
than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath day.”
13 Then he told the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out; and it was restored whole, just like the other.
