Matthew 12:1–21 · BSB
12:1 At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry and began to pick the heads of grain and eat them.
12:2 When the Pharisees saw this, they said to Him, “Look, Your disciples are doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath.”
12:3 Jesus replied, “Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?
12:4 He entered the house of God, and he and his companions ate the consecrated bread, which was not lawful for them to eat, but only for the priests.
12:5 Or haven’t you read in the Law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple break the Sabbath and yet are innocent?
12:6 But I tell you that One greater than the temple is here.
12:7 If only you had known the meaning of ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the innocent.
12:8 For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
12:9 Moving on from there, Jesus entered their synagogue,
12:10 and a man with a withered hand was there. In order to accuse Jesus, they asked Him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”
12:11 He replied, “If one of you has a sheep and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will he not take hold of it and lift it out?
12:12 How much more valuable is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”
12:13 Then Jesus said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out, and it was restored to full use, just like the other.
12:14 But the Pharisees went out and plotted how they might kill Jesus.
12:15 Aware of this, Jesus withdrew from that place. Large crowds followed Him, and He healed them all,
12:16 warning them not to make Him known.
12:17 This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:
12:18 “Here is My Servant, whom I have chosen, My beloved, in whom My soul delights. I will put My Spirit on Him, and He will proclaim justice to the nations.
12:19 He will not quarrel or cry out; no one will hear His voice in the streets.
12:20 A bruised reed He will not break, and a smoldering wick He will not extinguish, till He leads justice to victory.
12:21 In His name the nations will put their hope.”
