1. And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath, that they watched him.
2. And behold, there was a certain man before him who had the dropsy.
3. And Jesus answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath?
4. And they held their peace. And he took him and healed him, and let him go;
5. And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not forthwith pull him out on the sabbath?
6. And they could not answer him again to these things.
