002:020 But a time will come when the Bridegroom will be taken away from them; then they will fast. 002:021 No one mends an old garment with a piece of unshrunk cloth. Otherwise, the patch put on would tear away from it-- the new from the old--and a worse hole would be made. 002:022 And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise the wine would burst the skins, and both wine and skins would be lost. New wine needs fresh skins!" 002:023 One Sabbath He was walking through the wheatfields when His disciples began to pluck the ears of wheat as they went. 002:024 So the Pharisees said to Him, "Look! why are they doing what on the Sabbath is unlawful?" 002:025 "Have you never read," Jesus replied, "what David did when the necessity arose and he and his men were hungry: 002:026 how he entered the house of God in the High-priesthood of Abiathar, and ate the Presented Loaves--which none but the priests are allowed to eat--and gave some to his men also?" 002:027 And Jesus said to them: "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath; 002:028 so that the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath." 003:001 At another time, when He went to the synagogue, there was a man there with one arm shrivelled up. 003:002 They closely watched Him to see whether He would cure him on the Sabbath--so as to have a charge to bring against Him. 003:003 "Come forward," said He to the man with the shrivelled arm. 003:004 Then He asked them, "Are we allowed to do good on the Sabbath, or to do evil? to save a life, or to destroy one?" They remained silent. 003:005 Grieved and indignant at the hardening of their hearts, He looked round on them with anger, and said to the man, "Stretch out your arm." He stretched it out, and the arm was completely restored. 003:006 But no sooner had the Pharisees left the synagogue than they held a consultation with the Herodians against Jesus, to devise some means of destroying Him. 003:007 Accordingly Jesus withdrew with His disciples to the Lake, and a vast crowd of people from Galilee followed Him; 003:008 and from Judaea and Jerusalem and Idumaea and from beyond the Jordan and from the district of Tyre and Sidon there came to Him a vast crowd, hearing of all that He was doing. 003:009 So He gave directions to His disciples to keep a small boat in constant attendance on Him because of the throng-- to prevent their crushing Him. 003:010 For He had cured many of the people, so that all who had any ailments pressed upon Him, to touch Him. 003:011 And the foul spirits, whenever they saw Him, threw themselves down at His feet, screaming out: "You are the Son of God." 003:012 But He many a time checked them, forbidding them to say who He was.
