Matthew 12:8-12

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

Departing from there, He went into their synagogue.

And a man was there whose hand was withered. And they questioned Jesus, asking, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”—so that they might bring charges against Him.

But He said to them, “What man is there among you who has a sheep, and if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will he not take hold of it and lift it out?

How much more valuable then is a person than a sheep! So then, it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”
