1. IT OCCURRED one Sabbath, when [Jesus] went for a meal at the house of one of the ruling Pharisees, that they were [engaged in] watching Him [closely].
2. And behold, [just] in front of Him there was a man who had dropsy.
3. And Jesus asked the lawyers and the Pharisees, Is it lawful and right to cure on the Sabbath or not?
4. But they kept silent. Then He took hold [of the man] and cured him and sent him away.
5. And He said to them, Which of you, having a son or a donkey or an ox that has fallen into a well, will not at once pull him out on the Sabbath day?
