1. And it came to be on a Sabbath that He went through grainfields, and His taught ones were plucking the heads of grain and were eating, rubbing them in the hands.
2. And some of the Pharisees said to them, “Why are you doing what is not right to do on the Sabbath?”
3. And יהושע answering them, said, “Have you not read what Dawiḏ did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him,
4. how he went into the House of Elohim, took and ate the showbread, and also gave some to those with him, which is not right for any but the priests to eat?”
5. And He said to them, “The Son of Aḏam is Master of the Sabbath.”
6. And it also came to be on another Sabbath, that He entered into the congregation and taught, and there was a man whose right hand was withered.
7. And the scribes and Pharisees were watching Him closely, whether He would heal on the Sabbath, for them to find an accusation against Him.
8. And He knew their thoughts, and said to the man who had the withered hand, “Rise and stand in the midst.” And he rose up and stood.
