Then He began to upbraid the cities where most of His mighty works were
done because they did not repent. Woe unto thee, Chorazin! Woe unto
thee, Bethsaida! If the mighty works that were done in you had been
done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth
and ashes. But I say to you, It will be more tolerable for Tyre and
Sidon at the day of judgment than for you.
And Capernaum, praised to heaven, will be brought down to hell. If the
mighty works that were done in Capernaum had been done in Sodom, it
would have remained until this day. But I say unto you, it will be more
tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment than for you.
Then Jesus prayed aloud: I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and
earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and prudent
and revealed them to babes. It is so, Father, for it seemed good in thy
sight.
All things are delivered to me by my Father. No man knows the Son but
the Father. Neither knows any man the Father except the Son. He is
revealed to whomever the Son will reveal Him.
Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest.
Take up my yoke and learn from me. I am meek and lowly in heart. You
will find rest for your souls because my yoke is easy and my burden is
light.
12. It was a sabbath day when Jesus and His disciples passed
through a cornfield. His disciples were hungry and began to pluck ears
of corn to eat. When the Pharisees saw it, they said to Jesus, Behold,
thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath day. But
Jesus answered them, Have ye not read what David did when he was
hungry? He and those who were with him entered into the house of God
and ate the showbread. This was not lawful for him to eat, nor for
those with him because the bread was only for the priests.
And, have ye not read in the law how, on the sabbath days, the priests
in the temple profane the sabbath and are blameless? But, here is one
greater than the temple. If you knew what this meant, you would not
condemn the guiltless because the Son of man is Lord even of the
sabbath.
When Jesus went into the synagogue He was met by a man who had a
withered hand. So that they might accuse Jesus, the Pharisees asked
Him, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day? Jesus replied, What man
is there among you who has one sheep and, if it falls into a pit on the
sabbath day, will not lay hold of it and lift it out? How much more is
a man worth than a sheep? Therefore, it is lawful to do good on the
sabbath day. Jesus turned to the man and said, Stretch out your hand.
The man stretched his hand and it was restored, whole and like his
other hand.
