It happened that when He went into the house of one of the leaders of the Pharisees on the Sabbath to eat bread, they were watching Him closely.

And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him.

And there in front of Him was a man suffering from edema.

And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy.

And Jesus responded and said to the lawyers and Pharisees, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath, or not?"

And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?

But they kept silent. And He took hold of him and healed him, and sent him away.

And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go;

And He said to them, "Which one of you will have a son or an ox fall into a well, and will not immediately pull him out on a Sabbath day?"

And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day?

And they could offer no reply to this.

And they could not answer him again to these things.
