Luke 6
1 It happened that on a Sabbath he was going through the wheat-fields. His disciples were picking the ears and eating the wheat, rubbing it out with their hands.
Now on the second Sabbath ·To cease· after the first, he was going through the grain fields. His disciples plucked the heads of grain and ate, rubbing them in their hands.
2 And some of the Pharisees asked, "Why are you doing what it is not lawful to do on the Sabbath?"
But some of the Pharisees [Separated] said to them, “Why do you do that which is not lawful to do on the Sabbath ·To cease· day?”
3 "Have you never read," answered Jesus, "what David did when he and his followers were hungry?
Yeshua [Salvation], answering them, said, “Haven’t you read what David [Beloved] did when he was hungry, he, and those who were with him;
4 "How he entered into God’s house and took and ate the Presented Loaves, and gave some to his followers, loaves which none must eat but the priests?
how he entered into God’s house, and took and ate the show bread from the table of Yahweh, and gave also to those who were with him, which is not lawful to eat except for the priests alone?”
5 "THE SON OF MAN," he told them, "IS LORD EVEN OVER THE SABBATH."
He said to them, “The Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath ·To cease·.”
6 On another Sabbath he went into a synagogue and was teaching; and there was there a man whose right hand was withered.
It also happened on another Sabbath ·To cease· that he entered into the synagogue and taught. There was a man there, and his right hand was withered.
7 Now the Scribes and Pharisees kept watching to see if he would heal on the Sabbath, so that they might be able to bring on accusations to him.
The Torah-Teachers and the Pharisees [Separated] watched him, to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath ·To cease·, that they might find an accusation against him.
8 He was all along aware of their thoughts; and he said to the man with the withered hand, "Rise, and stand there in the midst."
But he knew their thoughts; and he said to the man who had the withered hand, “Rise up, and stand in the middle.” He arose and stood.
9 So he rose and stood. Then Jesus said to them. "I ask you whether it is lawful on the Sabbath Day to do good or to do harm? To save a life or to destroy it?"
Then Yeshua [Salvation] said to them, “I will ask you something: Is it lawful on the Sabbath ·To cease· to do good, or to do harm? To save a life, or to kill?”
10 Then he looked round about on them in anger, and said to him, "Stretch out your hand!"
He looked around at them all, and said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did, and his hand was restored as sound as the other.
11 He did so; and his hand was restored. But they were filled with fury, and they began to talk over together what they could do to Jesus.
But they were filled with rage, and talked with one another about what they might do to Yeshua [Salvation].
12 It happened about that time that he went out into the mountain to pray. He continued all night in prayer to God.

13 And when day dawned he called his disciples, and from among them he selected twelve, whom also he called Apostles missionaries.
