Matthew 12
1 At that time, Jesus went on the Sabbath day through the grain fields. His disciples were hungry and began to pluck heads of grain and to eat.

2 But the Pharisees, when they saw it, said to him, "Look, your disciples do what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath."

3 But he said to them, "Have you not read what David did, when he and his companions were hungry;

5 Or have you not read in the Law, that on the Sabbath day the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath and are blameless?

13 Then he told the man, "Stretch out your hand." And he stretched it out, and it was restored whole, just like the other.
