Contextual Overview
1 On the second-prime sabbath, as Jesus was passing through the corn-fields, his disciples happen'd to pluck the ears, and rubbing out the corn with their hands began to eat. 2 upon which some of the Pharisees said to them, why do you do what is not allowed to be done on the sabbath-day? 3 but Jesus replied, have you never read what David did, when he and his company were press'd with hunger? 4 how he went into the court of the tabernacle, took and eat the shew-bread, and distributed it likewise to the company, which the law allowed the priests only to eat? 5 the son of man, said he, may dispense even with the sabbath. 6 On another sabbath-day it happen'd, that he went into the synagogue to preach, where a man was present, who had the palsy in his right hand. 7 now the Scribes and Pharisees were upon the watch to see if he would work a cure upon the sabbath-day, and so have matter of accusation against him. 8 but as he knew their thoughts, he said to the man, whose hand was paralytic, rise up, and stand there in the middle. and he arose, and stood before him. 9 then said Jesus to them, I will ask you one question, which is the most allowable on the sabbath-day, to do good, or to neglect it? to save a man's life, or to let him perish? 10 then casting his eyes round the company, he said to the man, stretch out your hand. and he did so: and that hand was as sound as the other.
