Luke 6:1-19.
Luke 6:1-19 (Good News Translation)
1 "Jesus was walking through some wheat fields on a Sabbath. His
disciples began to pick the heads of wheat, rub them in their hands,
and eat the grain. 2 Some Pharisees asked, "Why are you doing what our
Law says you cannot do on the Sabbath?" 3 Jesus answered them,
"Haven't you read what David did when he and his men were hungry? 4 He
went into the house of God, took the bread offered to God, ate it, and
gave it also to his men. Yet it is against our Law for anyone except
the priests to eat that bread. " 5 And Jesus concluded, "The Son of
Man is Lord of the Sabbath." 6 On another Sabbath Jesus went into a
synagogue and taught. A man was there whose right hand was paralyzed.
7 Some teachers of the Law and some Pharisees wanted a reason to
accuse Jesus of doing wrong, so they watched him closely to see if he
would heal on the Sabbath. 8 But Jesus knew their thoughts and said to
the man, "Stand up and come here to the front." The man got up and
stood there. 9 Then Jesus said to them, "I ask you: What does our Law
allow us to do on the Sabbath? To help or to harm? To save someone's
life or destroy it?" 10 He looked around at them all; then he said to
the man, "Stretch out your hand." He did so, and his hand became well
again. 11 They were filled with rage and began to discuss among
themselves what they could do to Jesus. 12 At that time Jesus went up
a hill to pray and spent the whole night there praying to God. 13 When
day came, he called his disciples to him and chose twelve of them,
whom he named apostles: 14 Simon (whom he named Peter) and his brother
Andrew; James and John, Philip and Bartholomew, 15 Matthew and Thomas,
James son of Alphaeus, and Simon (who was called the Patriot), 16
Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became the traitor. 17
When Jesus had come down from the hill with the apostles, he stood on
a level place with a large number of his disciples. A large crowd of
people was there from all over Judea and from Jerusalem and from the
coast cities of Tyre and Sidon; 18 they had come to hear him and to be
healed of their diseases. Those who were troubled by evil spirits also
came and were healed. 19 All the people tried to touch him, for power
was going out from him and healing them all."
Please say this prayer:
Father God, forgive my sins. Thank you for sending Jesus Christ down
to die on the cross and for shedding his blood for me. Three days
later you resurrected him. I accept that. I invite Jesus Christ into
my heart as my Lord and savior. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
God bless you.
