1 It happened on a Sabbath, when he was gone to eat at the house of one of the rulers, who was a Pharisee, that while the Pharisees were observing him,

2 a man who had a dropsy stood before him.

3 Then Jesus addressing himself to the lawyers and Pharisees, said, Is it lawful to cure on the Sabbath?

4 They being silent, he took hold of the man, healed and dismissed him.
