Jesus Is Lord of the Sabbath

1 At that time aJesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. And His disciples were hungry, and began to bpluck heads of grain and to eat.  
2 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to Him, “Look, Your disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath!”
3 But He said to them, “Have you not read awhat David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him:  
4 how he entered the house of God and ate athe showbread which was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those who were with him, bbut only for the priests?  
5 Or have you not read in the alaw that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple1 profane the Sabbath, and are blameless?  
6 Yet I say to you that in this place there is aOne greater than the temple.  
7 But if you had known what this means, a‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the guiltless.  
8 For the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”

9 aNow when He had departed from there, He went into their synagogue.  
10 And behold, there was a man who had a withered hand. And they asked Him, saying, a“Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”—that they might accuse Him.  
11 Then He said to them, “What man is there among you who has one sheep, and if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will not lay hold of 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.”
13 Then He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he stretched it out, and it was restored as whole as the other.
14 Then athe Pharisees went out and plotted against Him, how they might destroy Him.  

Behold, My Servant

15 But when Jesus knew it, aHe withdrew from there. bAnd great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them all.  
16 Yet He awarned them not to make Him known,
