Matthew 12:10-12 ▼

10 And behold, there was a man with a withered hand. And they questioned Him, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”—in order that they might accuse Him.

11 And He said to them, “What man shall there be among you, who shall have one sheep, and if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will he not take hold of it, and lift it out?

12 “Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep! So then, it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”
