A Sabbath Controversy
1 One Sabbath, when he went in to eat 14:1 Lit eat bread at the house of one of the leading Pharisees, 14:1 Lk 7:36; 11:37 they were watching him closely. 14:1 Mk 3:2; Lk 6:7; 20:202 There in front of him was a man whose body was swollen with fluid. 3 In response, Jesus asked the law experts 14:3 Lk 7:30; 14:30 and the Pharisees, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not? " 14:3 Mt 12:2; Mk 3:4; Lk 6:2,9; 13:14; Jn 5:104 But they kept silent. He took the man, healed him, and sent him away.
