But when the Pharisees saw [it], they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.
3 But he said vnto them, Haue ye not read what Dauid did when he was an hungred, and they that were with him?
But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;

And, behold, there was a man which had [his] hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.
11 And he said vnto the, What man shall there be among you, that hath a sheepe, and if it fal on a Sabbath day into a pit, doth not take it and lift it out?
And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift [it] out?
12 How much more then is a man better then a sheepe? therefore, it is lawfull to doe well on a Sabbath day.
How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.

26 So if Satan cast out Satan, he is deuided against himself: how shall then his kingdom endure?
And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?
27 Also if I through Beelzebub cast out deuils, by whom doe your children cast them out? Therefore they shall be your iudges.
And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast [them] out? therefore they shall be your judges.
28 But if I cast out deuils by ye Spirit of God, then is the kingdome of God come vnto you.
But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.
