1 One Sabbath, Jesus went to the house of a leader of the Pharisees to eat a meal. The guests were watching Jesus closely.

2 A man whose body was swollen with fluid suddenly appeared in front of him.

3 So Jesus asked the Pharisees and experts in the law,"Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?"

4 But they kept silent. So he took hold of the man, healed him, and sent him away.
