1 One sabbath when he went to dine at the house of a ruler who belonged to the Pharisees, they were watching him.

2 And behold, there was a man before him who had dropsy.

3 And Jesus spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, "Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath, or not?"

4 But they were silent. Then he took him and healed him, and let him go.
