This recounts two events that took place on the Sabbath day:
Jesus and His Disciples in the Grain Fields: Jesus and his followers were walking through grain fields on the Sabbath. His followers picked the grain, rubbed it in their hands, and ate it. When questioned by the Pharisees about this act, which was considered unlawful on the Sabbath, Jesus referred to an incident involving David. David, when he and his companions were hungry, had eaten the consecrated bread from God’s house, which was lawful only for priests to eat. Jesus then declared, “The Son of Man is Lord over the Sabbath day.” Healing of a Man on the Sabbath: On another Sabbath, Jesus went into the synagogue and taught the people. A man with a crippled right hand was present. The Pharisees and the teachers of the law were watching Jesus closely to see if he would heal on the Sabbath, which they could use as a basis to accuse him. Jesus, knowing their thoughts, asked the man to stand in front of everyone. He then posed a question to the Pharisees and the teachers of the law: “Which is the right thing to do on the Sabbath day: to do good or to do evil? Is it right to save a life or to destroy one?” He then healed the man’s hand, which left his accusers furious. The wisdom in these passages can be interpreted in many ways. One interpretation is that the essence of obedience is joyfully submitting to Jesus Christ as Lord. This submission means freedom, not oppression, and it produces worship, not work. Jesus, as the Lord of the Sabbath, emphasizes the spirit of the law over its letter, underscoring the importance of compassion and mercy. He teaches that the Sabbath was made for man’s benefit, and doing good is always lawful, even on the Sabbath. This challenges the rigid and legalistic interpretation of the Sabbath law by the Pharisees and teachers of the law. Blessed is the man who obeys the voice of Jesus and believes Him for the incomprehensible and the impossible. Believe only. “Jesus He is able.”
It reads in Luke 6:6-11 Easy>
On another Sabbath day Jesus went into the synagogue and taught the people. A man with a crippled right hand was there. The teachers of the law and the Pharisees were watching Jesus closely. They were waiting to see if he would heal on the Sabbath day. They wanted to see him do something wrong so that they could accuse him. But Jesus knew what they were thinking. He said to the man with the crippled hand, “Get up and stand here where everyone can see.” The man got up and stood there. Then Jesus said to them, “I ask you, which is the right thing to do on the Sabbath day: to do good or to do evil? Is it right to save a life or to destroy one?” Jesus looked around at all of them and then said to the man, “Hold out your hand.” The man held out his hand, and it was healed. The Pharisees and the teachers of the law got so mad they couldn’t think straight. They talked to each other about what they could do to Jesus.
