1 AND it came to pass on the sabbath after the second day of the passover, that he was passing through the cornfields; and the disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them out in their hands. 2 Then said some of the Pharisees unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful on the sabbath-day? 3 And Jesus answering said to them; Have ye never read what David did, when he was hungry, and those who were with him? 4 how he entered into the house of God, and took the loaves of shew-bread, and did eat, and gave also to those who were with him; which it was not lawful for any to eat, but the priests alone? 5 And he said, The Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath-day. 6 And it came to pass on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and a man was there, and his right hand was shrunk. 7 Then the scribes and Pharisees watched him, if he would heal on the sabbath-day, that they might find an accusation against him. 8 Now he knew their thoughts, and said to the man who had the withered hand, Rise, and stand in the midst. And he arose, and stood up. 9 Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you a question; Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath-day, or to do evil? to preserve life or to destroy it? 10 And looking round upon them all, he said to the man, Stretch out thine hand; and he did so: and his hand was restored sound as the other. 11 But they were filled with madness, and talked earnestly to each other what they could do to Jesus. 12 Now it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray and continued all night in an oratory of God. 13 And when it was day, he called his disciples to him; and elected from them twelve, whom he named Apostles: Luke 6:1-13, Haweis New Testament.
