New International Reader's Version

Luke 14:1-6 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

1. One Sabbath day, Jesus went to eat in the house of a well-known Pharisee. While he was there, he was being carefully watched.

2. In front of him was a man whose body was badly swollen.

3. Jesus turned to the Pharisees and the authorities on the law. He asked them, "Is it breaking the Law to heal on the Sabbath?"

4. But they remained silent. So Jesus took hold of the man and healed him. Then he sent him away.

5. He asked them another question. He said, "Suppose one of you has a son or an ox that falls into a well on the Sabbath day. Wouldn't you pull him out right away?"

6. And they had nothing to say.
