1 ONCE, when he went into the house of one of the leaders of the Pharisees on the Sabbath to eat bread, they were watching him closely.
2 And there before him was a man who had dropsy.
3 Jesus said to the lawyers and Pharisees, "Is it allowable to heal on the Sabbath or is it not?"
4 They kept quiet. Then taking hold of him he cured him and dismissed him.
