1 One|strong="G3588" Sabbath|strong="G4521" Jesus|strong="G2532" was|strong="G1096" walking through|strong="G1223" cornfields, and|strong="G2532" his|strong="G1223" disciples|strong="G3101" were|strong="G3588" picking|strong="G5089" the|strong="G1722" ears of|strong="G1223" wheat, and|strong="G2532" rubbing|strong="G5597" them|strong="G3588" in|strong="G1722" their|strong="G2532" hands|strong="G5495", and|strong="G2532" eating|strong="G2068" them|strong="G3588".
2 ‘Why|strong="G5101" are|strong="G3588" you|strong="G3739" doing|strong="G4160" what|strong="G5101" it|strong="G1161" is|strong="G3588" not|strong="G3756" allowable to|strong="G3004" do|strong="G4160" on|strong="G1161" the|strong="G1161" Sabbath|strong="G4521"?’ asked|strong="G3004" some|strong="G5100" of|strong="G5100" the|strong="G1161" Pharisees|strong="G5330".
3 Jesus|strong="G2424"’ answer was|strong="G1510", ‘Haven’\+w t|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w you|strong="G3739"\+w* read \+w even|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w of|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w what|strong="G3739"\+w* \+w David|strong="G1138"\+w* \+w did|strong="G4160"\+w*, \+w when|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w he|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w was|strong="G1510"\+w* \+w hungry|strong="G3983"\+w*, \+w he|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w his|strong="G1438"\+w* \+w companions|strong="G3588"\+w* –

5 Then|strong="G2532" Jesus|strong="G3004" added, ‘\+w The|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w Son|strong="G5207"\+w* \+w of|strong="G5207"\+w* \+w Man|strong="G5207"\+w* \+w is|strong="G1510"\+w* \+w lord|strong="G2962"\+w* \+w even|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w of|strong="G5207"\+w* \+w the|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w Sabbath|strong="G4521"\+w*.’
6 On|strong="G1722" another|strong="G2087" Sabbath|strong="G4521" Jesus|strong="G1525" went|strong="G1525" into|strong="G1519" the|strong="G1722" synagogue|strong="G4864" and|strong="G2532" taught|strong="G1321"; and|strong="G2532" there|strong="G1563" was|strong="G1510" a|strong="G1096" man|strong="G2087" there|strong="G1563" whose|strong="G3588" right|strong="G1188" hand|strong="G5495" was|strong="G1510" withered|strong="G3584".
7 The|strong="G1722" teachers of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G1722" Law and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G1722" Pharisees|strong="G5330" watched|strong="G3906" Jesus|strong="G2532" closely|strong="G3906", to|strong="G2443" see if|strong="G1487" he|strong="G2532" would|strong="G2532" work cures on|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" Sabbath|strong="G4521", so|strong="G2443" that|strong="G2443" they|strong="G2532" might|strong="G2532" find|strong="G2147" a|strong="G2532" charge|strong="G2723" to|strong="G2443" bring|strong="G2532" against|strong="G1722" him|strong="G3588".
8 Jesus|strong="G3004", however|strong="G1161", knew|strong="G1492" what|strong="G3588" was|strong="G3588" in|strong="G1519" their|strong="G2532" minds, and|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" man|strong="G1519" whose|strong="G3588" hand|strong="G5495" was|strong="G3588" withered|strong="G3584", ‘\+w Stand|strong="G2476"\+w* \+w up|strong="G1453"\+w* \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w come|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w out|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w into|strong="G1519"\+w* \+w the|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w middle|strong="G3319"\+w*.’ The|strong="G2532" man|strong="G1519" stood|strong="G2476" up|strong="G1453",
9 and|strong="G1161" Jesus|strong="G2424" said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G4314" them|strong="G3588", ‘\+w I|strong="G1161"\+w* \+w ask|strong="G1905"\+w* \+w you|strong="G5210"\+w*, \+w is|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w it|strong="G1161"\+w* allowable \+w to|strong="G4314"\+w* \+w do|strong="G3004"\+w* \+w good|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w on|strong="G1161"\+w* \+w the|strong="G1161"\+w* \+w Sabbath|strong="G4521"\+w* – \+w or|strong="G2228"\+w* \+w harm|strong="G2554"\+w*? \+w To|strong="G4314"\+w* \+w save|strong="G4982"\+w* \+w a|strong="G1487"\+w* \+w life|strong="G5590"\+w*, \+w or|strong="G2228"\+w* \+w let|strong="G1161"\+w* \+w it|strong="G1161"\+w* perish?’
10 Then|strong="G2532", looking|strong="G4017" round|strong="G2532" at|strong="G1161" them|strong="G3588" all|strong="G3956", he|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" man|strong="G3956", ‘\+w Stretch|strong="G1614"\+w* \+w out|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w your|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w hand|strong="G5495"\+w*.’ The|strong="G2532" man|strong="G3956" did|strong="G4160" so|strong="G2532"; and|strong="G2532" his|strong="G1438" hand|strong="G5495" had|strong="G2532" become|strong="G1161" sound.
11 But|strong="G1161" the|strong="G2532" teachers of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" Law and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" Pharisees were|strong="G3588" mad with|strong="G4314" rage, and|strong="G2532" consulted together|strong="G4314" what|strong="G5101" they|strong="G2532" could|strong="G3588" do|strong="G4160" to|strong="G4314" Jesus|strong="G2424".
12 Now|strong="G1161" about|strong="G1722" that|strong="G3588" time|strong="G2250", Jesus|strong="G1510" went|strong="G1831" out|strong="G1831", up|strong="G1519" the|strong="G1722" hill|strong="G3735", to|strong="G1519" pray|strong="G4336", and|strong="G2532" spent|strong="G1096" the|strong="G1722" whole|strong="G1273" night|strong="G1273" in|strong="G1722" prayer|strong="G4335" to|strong="G1519" God|strong="G2316".
13 When|strong="G3753" day|strong="G2250" came|strong="G1096", he|strong="G2532" summoned his|strong="G2532" disciples|strong="G3101", and|strong="G2532" chose|strong="G1586" twelve|strong="G1427" of|strong="G2250" them|strong="G3588", whom|strong="G3739" he|strong="G2532" also|strong="G2532" named|strong="G3687" “apostles.”
14 They|strong="G2532" were|strong="G3588" Simon|strong="G4613" (whom|strong="G3739" Jesus|strong="G2532" also|strong="G2532" named|strong="G3687" Peter|strong="G4074"), and|strong="G2532" his|strong="G2532" brother Andrew, James|strong="G2385", John|strong="G2491", Philip|strong="G5376", Bartholomew,
15 Matthew|strong="G3156", Thomas|strong="G2381", James|strong="G2385" son of|strong="G2532" Alphaeus, Simon|strong="G4613" known as|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" Zealot|strong="G2208",
16 Judas|strong="G2455" son of|strong="G2532" James|strong="G2385", and|strong="G2532" Judas|strong="G2455" Iscariot|strong="G2469", who|strong="G3739" proved|strong="G1096" a|strong="G1096" traitor|strong="G4273".
17 Afterwards Jesus|strong="G2532" came|strong="G2064" down|strong="G2597" the|strong="G2532" hill with|strong="G3326" them|strong="G3588" and|strong="G2532" took|strong="G2532" his|strong="G3956" stand|strong="G2476" on|strong="G1909" a|strong="G2532" level|strong="G3977" place|strong="G5117". With|strong="G3326" him|strong="G3588" were|strong="G3588" a|strong="G2532" large|strong="G4183" crowd|strong="G3793" of|strong="G2532" his|strong="G3956" disciples|strong="G3101", and|strong="G2532" great|strong="G4183" numbers|strong="G3793" of|strong="G2532" people|strong="G2992" from|strong="G2064" the|strong="G2532" whole|strong="G3956" of|strong="G2532" Judea|strong="G2449", Jerusalem|strong="G2419", and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" coast|strong="G5117" district of|strong="G2532" Tyre|strong="G5184" and|strong="G2532" Sidon|strong="G4605",
18 who|strong="G3588" had|strong="G2532" come|strong="G2064" to|strong="G2532" hear him|strong="G3588" and|strong="G2532" to|strong="G2532" be|strong="G2532" restored to|strong="G2532" health. Those|strong="G3588", too|strong="G2532", who|strong="G3588" were|strong="G3588" troubled|strong="G1776" with|strong="G2532" foul spirits|strong="G4151" were|strong="G3588" cured|strong="G2323";
19 and|strong="G2532" everyone|strong="G3956" in|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" crowd|strong="G3793" was|strong="G3588" trying|strong="G2212" to|strong="G2532" touch him|strong="G3588", because|strong="G3754" a|strong="G2532" power|strong="G1411" went|strong="G1831" out|strong="G1831" from|strong="G3844" him|strong="G3588" which|strong="G3588" restored them|strong="G3588" all|strong="G3956".
20 Then|strong="G2532", raising his|strong="G1519" eyes|strong="G3788" and|strong="G2532" looking|strong="G2532" at|strong="G1519" his|strong="G1519" disciples|strong="G3101", Jesus|strong="G3004" said|strong="G3004":
