(18)And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees kept fasts; and they came and said to him, Wherefore do the disciples of John, and of the Pharisees, fast? but thy disciples keep no fast. (19)And Jesus said to them, Can the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast. (20)But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days. (21)And no man seweth on a patch of cloth undressed upon an old garment: but if otherwise, the new piece supplied taketh away from the old, and the rent is made worse. (22)And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; but if otherwise, the new wine will burst the bottles, and the wine will be spilt, and the bottles destroyed: but new wine must be put into new bottles. (23)And he was walking through the cornfields on the sabbath; and his disciples as they went on the road plucked the ears of corn. (24)And the Pharisees said to him, See, why are they doing on the sabbath, what is not lawful? (25)And he said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, when he was under necessity, and was hungry, himself and they who were with him? (26)How he entered into the house of God to Abiathar the high-priest; and did eat the shewbread, which it was not lawful for any to eat except the priests, and he gave also to those who were with him? (27)And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, not man for the sabbath. (28)Wherefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath. CHAP. III. AND he entered again into the synagogue; and a man was there who had a withered hand. (2)And they watched him if he would cure him on the sabbath; that they might accuse him. (3)And he saith to the man who had the withered hand, Rise up in the midst. (4)And he saith to them, Is it lawful on the sabbath day to do good, or to do evil, to preserve life, or to kill? but they were silent. (5)Then looking round about on them with indignation, exceedingly grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith to the man, Stretch out thine hand; and he stretched it out: and his hand was restored sound as the other. (6)And the Pharisees instantly going out, held a council with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.
