7 And if you knew what this meaneth: I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: you would never have condemned the innocent.

9 And when he has passed from thence, he came into their synagogues.
10 And behold there was a man who had a withered hand, and they asked him, saying: Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.

12 How much better is a man than a sheep? Therefore it is lawful to do a good deed on the sabbath days.
