Matthew 12:8–12 · Berean Standard Bible

8 For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

9 Moving on from there, Jesus entered their synagogue,

10 and a man with a withered hand was there. In order to accuse Jesus, they asked Him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”

11 He replied, “If one of you has a sheep and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will he not take hold of it and lift it out?

12 How much more valuable is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”
