Luke

Luke 14:1–6

¹One Sabbath, Jesus went to eat in the home of a leading Pharisee, and those in attendance were watching Him closely. ²Right there before Him was a man with dropsy. ³So Jesus asked the experts in the law and the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”

⁴But they remained silent.

Then Jesus took hold of the man, healed him, and sent him on his way. ⁵And He asked them, “Which of you whose son^a or ox falls into a pit on the Sabbath day will not immediately pull him out?”

⁶And they were unable to answer these questions .
