Tree Of Life Version

Matthew 12:4-15 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

4. How he entered into the house of God, and they ate the showbread, which was not permitted for him to eat, nor for those with him, but only for the kohanim?

5. Or haven’t you read in the Torah that on Shabbat the kohanim in the Temple break Shabbat and yet are innocent?

6. But I tell you that something greater than the Temple is here.

7. If you had known what this means, ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice,’ you wouldn’t have condemned the innocent.

8. For the Son of Man is Lord of Shabbat.”

9. Leaving from there, He went into their synagogue.

10. A man with a withered hand was there. And so that they might accuse Him, they questioned Yeshua, saying, “Is it permitted to heal on Shabbat?”

11. He said to them, “What man among you will not grab his sheep and lift it out, if it falls into a pit on Shabbat?

12. How much more valuable then is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is permitted to do good on Shabbat.”

13. Then He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he stretched it out and it was restored, as healthy as the other.

14. But the Pharisees went out and plotted against Him, how they might destroy Him.

15. Knowing this, Yeshua went away from there. And large crowds followed Him, and He healed them all.
