New Testament

Matthew 12:8-13 English Standard Version (ESV)

8. For the Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath.”

9. He went on from there and entered their synagogue.

10. And a man was there with a withered hand. And they asked him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”—so that they might accuse him.

11. He said to them, “Which one of you who has a sheep, if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will not take hold of it and lift it out?

12. Of how much more value is a man than a sheep! So it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”

13. Then he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And the man stretched it out, and it was restored, healthy like the other.
