Luke 6:5

Luke 6:5

3 But Jesus answering them said, “Have you not even read this, ^awhat David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him:

4 how he went into the house of God, took and ate the showbread, and also gave some to those with him, ^awhich is not lawful for any but the priests to eat?”

5 And He said to them, “The Son of Man is also Lord of the Sabbath.”

Healing on the Sabbath

6 ^aNow it happened on another Sabbath, also, that He entered the synagogue and taught. And a man was there whose right hand was withered.

7 So the scribes and Pharisees watched Him closely, whether He would ^aheal on the Sabbath, that they might find an ^baccusation against Him.

8 But He ^aknew their thoughts, and said to the man who had the withered hand, “Arise and stand here.” And he arose and stood.

9 Then Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one thing: ^aIs it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or¹ to destroy?”

of the sabbath—as naked a claim to all the authority of Him who gave the law at Mount Sinai as could possibly be made; that is, "I have said enough to vindicate the men ye carp at on My account: but in this place is the Lord of the law, and they have His sanction." (See Mark 2:28.)
