Luke 6:1-16.
Luke 6.1-16
A Question about the Sabbath
"One Sabbath when Jesus and his disciples were walking through some
wheat fields, the disciples picked some wheat. They rubbed the husks
off with their hands and started eating the grain.
Some Pharisees said, "Why are you picking grain on the Sabbath? You're
not supposed to do that!"
Jesus answered, "You surely have read what David did when he and his
followers were hungry. He went into the house of God and took the
sacred loaves of bread that only priests were supposed to eat. He not
only ate some himself, but even gave some to his followers."
Jesus finished by saying, "The Son of Man is Lord over the Sabbath."
A Man with a Crippled Hand
On another Sabbath Jesus was teaching in a Jewish meeting place, and a
man with a crippled right hand was there. Some Pharisees and teachers
of the Law of Moses kept watching Jesus to see if he would heal the
man. They did this because they wanted to accuse Jesus of doing
something wrong.
Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he told the man to stand up
where everyone could see him. And the man stood up. Then Jesus asked,
"On the Sabbath should we do good deeds or evil deeds? Should we save
someone's life or destroy it?"
After he had looked around at everyone, he told the man, "Stretch out
your hand." He did, and his bad hand became completely well.
The teachers and the Pharisees were furious and started saying to each
other, "What can we do about Jesus?"
Jesus Chooses His Twelve Apostles
About that time Jesus went off to a mountain to pray, and he spent the
whole night there. The next morning he called his disciples together
and chose twelve of them to be his apostles. One was Simon, and Jesus
named him Peter. Another was Andrew, Peter's brother. There were also
James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, and James the son
of Alphaeus. The rest of the apostles were Simon, known as the Eager
One, Jude, who was the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who later
betrayed Jesus."
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.
