New Testament

Matthew 12:8-12 New English Translation (NET)

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

9. Then Jesus left that place and entered their synagogue.

10. A man was there who had a withered hand. And they asked Jesus, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?” so that they could accuse him.

11. He said to them, “Would not any one of you, if he had one sheep that fell into a pit on the Sabbath, take hold of it and lift it out?

12. How much more valuable is a person than a sheep! So it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”
