'Look, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!'
But wisdom is justified by her deeds."
20 Then he began to rebuke the cities in which most of his
mighty works had been done, because they did not repent. 21 "Woe to
you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works which
were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have
repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. 22 But I tell you, it will be
more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.
23 And you, Capernaum,
will you be exalted to heaven?
You shall be brought down to Hades.
For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Sodom,
it would have remained until this day. 24 But I tell you that it shall be
more tolerable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom than for
you."
25 At that time Jesus declared, "I thank you, Father, Lord of
heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and
intelligent and have revealed them to babes. 26 Yes, Father, for this was
your good pleasure.
27 "All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one
knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the
Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. 28 Come to me,
all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take
my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart,
and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my
burden is light."

1 At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath.
And his disciples were hungry, and began to pluck heads of grain and to
eat. 2 But when the Pharisees saw it, they said to him, "Look, your
disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath." 3 He said to
them, "Have you not read what David did, when he was hungry, and those
who were with him: 4 how he entered the house of God and ate the
consecrated bread which was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those who
were with him, but only for the priests? 5 Or have you not read in the Law
that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath, and are
innocent? 6 I tell you that one greater than the temple is here. 7 And if
you had known what this means, 'I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,' you
would not have condemned the guiltless. 8 For the Son of Man is Lord of
the Sabbath."
9 And he went on from there, and went into their synagogue. 10
And behold, there was a man with a withered hand. And they asked him,
"Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?" so that they might accuse him. 11
He said to them, "What man of you, if he has one sheep and it falls into a
pit on the Sabbath, will not lay hold of it and lift it out? 12 Of how much
more value is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the
Sabbath." 13 Then he said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." And he
stretched it out, and it was restored as whole as the other. 14 But the
