Matthew 12
1 At that time Jesus went on the Sabbath day through the grainfields. His disciples were hungry and began to pluck heads of grain and eat them.
ⲁ̅ϩⲙⲡⲉⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ϩⲓⲧⲛⲙⲙⲁ ⲉⲧϫⲏⲩ ⲙⲡⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲟⲛ. ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩϩⲕⲟ ⲁⲩⲁⲣⲭⲉⲓ ⲛⲧⲱⲗⲕ ⲛⲛϩⲙⲥ ⲉⲩⲟⲩⲱⲙ.
2 But when the Pharisees saw that, they said to Jesus, “See, your disciples do what is unlawful to do on the Sabbath.”
ⲃ̅ⲛⲉⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ⲛⲁϥ. ϫⲉ ⲉⲓⲥϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲛⲉⲕⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲥⲉⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲉⲙⲉϣϣⲉ ⲉⲁⲁϥ ϩⲙⲡⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲟⲛ.
3 But Jesus said to them, “Have you never read what David did, when he was hungry, and the men who were with him?

4 He went into the house of God and ate the bread of the presence, which was unlawful for him to eat and unlawful for those who were with him, but lawful only for the priests.

5 Have you not read in the law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath but are guiltless?

7 If you had known what this meant, 'I desire mercy and not sacrifice,' you would not have condemned the guiltless.

10 Behold, there was a man who had a withered hand. The Pharisees asked Jesus, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?” so that they might accuse him of sinning.

11 Jesus said to them, “What man would there be among you, who, if he had just one sheep, and if this sheep fell into a deep hole on the Sabbath, would not grasp hold of it and lift it out?

13 Then Jesus said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and it was restored to health, just like the other hand.

15 As Jesus perceived this, he withdrew from there. Many people followed him, and he healed them all.

18 “See, my servant whom I have chosen; my beloved one, in whom my soul is well pleased. I will put my Spirit upon him, and he will proclaim justice to the Gentiles.

22 Then someone blind and mute, possessed by a demon, was brought to Jesus. He healed him, with the result that the mute man spoke and saw.

24 But when the Pharisees heard of this miracle, they said, “This man does not cast out demons except by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.”
