Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Mark 2:23-3:6

23One Sabbath Jesus was passing through the grainfields, and His disciples began to pick the heads of grain as they walked along.
24So the Pharisees said to Him, “Look, why are they doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”
25Jesus replied, “Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need?
26During the high priesthood of Abiathar, he entered the house of God and ate the consecrated bread, which was lawful only for the priests. And he gave some to his companions as well.”
27Then Jesus declared, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.
28Therefore, the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”
1Once again Jesus entered the synagogue, and a man with a withered hand was there.
2In order to accuse Jesus, they were watching to see if He would heal on the Sabbath.
3Then Jesus said to the man with the withered hand, “Stand up among us.”
4And He asked them, “Which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?” But they were silent.
5Jesus looked around at them with anger and sorrow at their hardness of heart. Then He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out, and it was restored.
6At this, the Pharisees went out and began plotting with the Herodians how they might kill Jesus.
