He spoke also a parable to them. No man puts a piece of a new garment
on an old one; if he does, the new makes a rent, and the piece that
was taken out of the new does not match the old. And no man puts new
wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, be
spilled, and the bottles shall perish. But new wine must be put into
new bottles; and both are preserved. No man, having drunk old wine,
straightway desires new, because he says, The old is better.
6 It came to pass that on the second sabbath after the first,
Jesus passed through corn fields; and His disciples plucked ears of
corn to eat, rubbing them in their hands. Certain of the Pharisees
said to them, Why do ye do that which is not lawful on the sabbath
days?
Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read what David did, when he
and those who were with him were hungry? How he went into the house of
God, took the showbread to eat, and also gave it to those who were
with him; which is not lawful to eat and is only for the priests?
Jesus said to them, The Son of man is also Lord of the sabbath.
It came to pass on another sabbath, He entered the synagogue and
taught. There was a man whose right hand was withered. The scribes and
Pharisees watched whether He would heal on the sabbath day so they
might find an accusation against Him.
Jesus knew their intentions and said to the man with the withered
hand, Rise up. Stand forth in the midst. The man arose and stood
forth. Then Jesus said to them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful
on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? To save life, or to
destroy it? Then looking around at them, He said to the man, Stretch
forth thy hand. As the man did so, his hand was restored whole as the
other. They were filled with anger and discussed what they might do to
Jesus.
It came to pass in those days, Jesus went up into a mountain to pray.
He continued all night in prayer to God. When it was day, He called to
Him His disciples and, of them, He chose twelve whom He also named
apostles:
Simon (whom He also named Peter); Andrew, his brother; James and John;
Philip and Bartholomew; Matthew and Thomas; James, the son of
Alphaeus; and Simon called Zelotes; Judas, the brother of James; and
Judas Iscariot, who also was the traitor.
Jesus came down with the company of His disciples and stood in the
plain. There was now gathered a great multitude of people out of all
Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, who
came to hear Him, and to be healed of their diseases and unclean
spirits. The whole multitude sought to touch Him because virtue flowed
out of Him and healed them all.
