Num.20.19

The People of Israel said, "Look, we'll stay on the main road. If we or our animals drink any water, we'll pay you for it. We're harmless--just a company of footsore travelers."

But the king of Edom replied, "Stay out! You may not pass through our land." With that he mobilized his army and marched out to meet them with an imposing force.

Num.20.21

Luke.5.34

Jesus said, "When you're celebrating a wedding, you don't skimp on the cake and wine. You feast. Later you may need to pull in your belt, but this isn't the time. As long as the bride and groom are with you, you have a good time.

Some of the Pharisees asked, "Why are you doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?"

Luke.6.2

And some of the Pharisees said to them, "Why are you doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath?"

But some Pharisees said, "You shouldn't be doing that! It's against the law to work by harvesting grain on the Sabbath."

Luke.6.3

But Jesus stood up for them. "Have you never read what David and those with him did when they were hungry?

Luke.6.4

how he went into the house of God, took and ate the showbread, and also gave some to those with him, which is not lawful for any but the priests to eat?"

He went into the house of God, ate the special bread reserved for the priests alone, and then gave some to his friends. That was breaking the law, too."

Luke.6.5

Then he said, "The Son of Man is no slave to the Sabbath; he's in charge."

On another Sabbath he went to the meeting place and taught. There was a man there with a crippled right hand.

Luke.6.6

On another Sabbath he went into the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was shriveled.

Luke.6.6

Now it happened on another Sabbath, also, that He entered the synagogue and taught. And a man was there whose right hand was withered.

Luke.6.6

On another Sabbath day, a man with a deformed right hand was in the synagogue while Jesus was teaching.

Luke.6.7

The religion scholars and Pharisees had their eye on Jesus to see if he would heal the man, hoping to catch him in a Sabbath infraction.

Luke.6.7

The Pharisees and the teachers of the law were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely to see if he would heal on the Sabbath.

Luke.6.7

So the scribes and Pharisees watched Him closely, whether He would heal on the Sabbath, that they might find an accusation against Him.

Luke.6.7

The teachers of religious law and the Pharisees watched closely to see whether Jesus would heal the man on the Sabbath, because they were eager to find some legal charge to bring against him.

Luke.6.8

He knew what they were up to and spoke to the man with the crippled hand: "Get up and stand here before us." He did.

Luke.6.8

But Jesus knew what they were thinking and said to the man with the shriveled hand, "Get up and stand in front of everyone." So he got up and stood there.

Luke.6.8

But He knew their thoughts, and said to the man who had the withered hand, "Arise and stand here." And he arose and stood.

Luke.6.8

But Jesus knew their thoughts. He said to the man with the deformed hand, "Come and stand here where everyone can see." So the man came forward.

Luke.6.9

Then Jesus addressed them, "Let me ask you something: What kind of action suits the Sabbath best? Doing good or doing evil? Helping people or leaving them helpless?"

Luke.6.9

Then Jesus said to them, "I ask you, which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?"

Luke.6.9

Then Jesus said to them, "I will ask you one thing: Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy?"

Luke.6.9

Then Jesus said to his critics, "I have a question for you. Is it legal to do good deeds on the Sabbath, or is it a day for doing harm? Is this a day to save life or to destroy it?"

Luke.6.10

He looked around, looked each one in the eye. He said to the man, "Hold out your hand." He held it out--it was as good as new!

Luke.6.10

He looked around at them all, and then said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He did so, and his hand was completely restored.

Luke.6.10

And when He had looked around at them all, He said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." And he did so, and his hand was restored as whole as the other.

Luke.6.10

He looked around at them one by one and then said to the man, "Reach out your hand." The man reached out his hand, and it became normal again!

Luke.6.11

They were beside themselves with anger, and started plotting how they might get even with him.

Luke.6.11

But they were furious and began to discuss with one another what they might do to Jesus.
