And having answered them, Jesus said, Have ye not read even this, what David did when he was hungry, and those who were with him,
4 and did take and eat the shew-bread, and gave also to his attendants, which it is not lawful for any to eat but the priests.
how he entered into the house of God, and took and ate the loaves of the presentation, and also gave to those who were with him, which is not permitted to eat, except the priests alone?

But he knew their thoughts, and he said to the man who had the withered hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And having risen, he stood up.
9 Then said Jesus unto 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 let it be lost?
Then Jesus said to them, I will question you. What? Is it permitted on the sabbath to do good, or to do harm, to save life, or to kill?
10 And looking round upon them all, He said to the man, Stretch out thine hand: and he did so, and his hand was made as sound as the other.

41 But why dost thou look at the chaff in thy brother's eye, and takest no notice of the beam that is in thine own?
And why do thou see the speck in thy brother's eye, but do not perceive the beam in thine own eye?
42 or how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother let me take out the splinter that is in thine eye, when thou thyself seest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first take out the beam from thine own eye, and then thou wilt see distinctly how to take out the chaff that is in thy brother's eye.
Or how can thou say to thy brother, Brother, allow me to take out the speck that is in thine eye, when thou thyself do not see the beam in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first take out the beam from thine own eye, and then thou will see clearly to take out the speck in thy brother's eye.
43 For that is not a good tree which produceth bad fruit, nor is the tree bad, which produceth good fruit:
For a good tree is not producing corrupt fruit, nor a corrupt tree producing good fruit.

Every man who comes to me, and hears my sayings, and does them, I will show you to whom he is like.

But he who heard, and not having done, is like a man who built a house upon the soil without a foundation, on which the stream beat, and straightaway it fell. And the ruin of that house became great.
