Mark 2:23-3:6 ▼

Mark 2

23 And it was he passed by through the standing corn in the sabbaths: and his disciples began to make the way, picking out the ears of corn.

24 And the Pharisees said to him, Behold, why do they in the sabbaths what is not lawful.

25 And he said to them, Did ye never read what David did, when he had need, and hungered, himself, and those with him?

26 How he went into the house of God to Abiathar the chief priest, and ate the loaves of setting up, which is not lawful to eat but for priests, and gave to those being with him?

27 And he said to them, The sabbath was for man, and not man for the sabbath:

28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.

Mark 3

1 And he went again into the synagogue; and a man was there having the hand dried up.

2 And they were observing him narrowly, if in the sabbaths he will heal him; that they might accuse him.

3 And he says to the man having the hand dried up, Rise in the midst.

4 And he says to them, Is it lawful in the sabbaths to do good, or to do evil? to save a soul, or to kill? And they were silent.

5 And having looked round upon them with anger, grieved for the hardness of their heart, he says to the man, Stretch out thy hand. And he stretched out: and his hand was restored whole as the other.

6 And the Pharisees having come out, quickly with the Herodians were making counsel against him, that they might destroy him.
