St Matthew 12:11-16 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

11. But he said to them: What man shall there be among you, that hath one sheep: and if the same fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not take hold on it and lift it up?

12. How much better is a man than a sheep? Therefore it is lawful to do a good deed on the sabbath days.

13. Then he saith to the man: Stretch forth thy hand; and he stretched it forth, and it was restored to health even as the other.

14. And the Pharisees going out made a consultation against him, how they might destroy him.

15. But Jesus knowing it, retired from thence: and many followed him, and he healed them all.

16. And he charged them that they should not make him known.
