Mark 2
Part 1 of 2
23 Once on a day of worship Jesus was going through the grainfields. As the disciples walked along, they began to pick the heads of grain. 24 The Pharisees asked him, |Look! Why are your disciples doing something that is not permitted on the day of worship?| 25 Jesus asked them, |Haven't you ever read what David did when he and his men were in need and were hungry? 26 Haven't you ever read how he went into the house of God when Abiathar was chief priest and ate the bread of the presence? He had no right to eat those loaves. Only the priests have that right. Haven't you ever read how he also gave some of it to his men?| 27 Then he added, |The day of worship was made for people, not people for the day of worship. 28 For this reason the Son of Man has authority over the day of worship.|
Mark 3
Part 2 of 2
1 Jesus went into a synagogue again. A man who had a paralyzed hand was there. 2 The people were watching Jesus closely. They wanted to see whether he would heal the man on the day of worship so that they could accuse him of doing something wrong. 3 So he told the man with the paralyzed hand, |Stand in the center [of the synagogue].| 4 Then he asked them, |Is it right to do good or to do evil on the day of worship, to give a person back his health or to let him die?| But they were silent. 5 Jesus was angry as he looked around at them. He was deeply hurt because their minds were closed. Then he told the man, |Hold out your hand.| The man held it out, and his hand became normal again. 6 The Pharisees left, and with Herod's followers they immediately plotted to kill Jesus.
