Just then, a man named Jairus came. He was a leader of the synagogue. He fell down at Jesus' feet and pleaded with Him to come to his house,

After the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the leaders of the synagogue sent [word] to them, saying, "Brothers, if you have any message of encouragement for the people, you can speak."

Crispus, the leader of the synagogue, believed the Lord, along with his whole household; and many of the Corinthians, when they heard, believed and were baptized.

Then they all seized Sosthenes, the leader of the synagogue, and beat him in front of the judge's bench. But none of these things concerned Gallio.

They, however, were filled with rage and started discussing with one another what they might do to Jesus.

The man went and reported to the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

Therefore, the Jews began persecuting Jesus because He was doing these things on the Sabbath.

I can testify about them that they have zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.

You are to labor six days and do all your work,

"Do your work for six days but rest on the seventh day so that your ox and your donkey may rest, and the son of your female slave as well as the foreign resident may be refreshed.

"For six days work may be done, but on the seventh day there must be a Sabbath of complete rest, a sacred assembly. You are not to do any work; it is a Sabbath to the LORD wherever you live.

I also gave them My Sabbaths to serve as a sign between Me and them, so they will know that I am the LORD who sets them apart as holy.

The scribes and Pharisees were watching Him closely, to see if He would heal on the Sabbath, so that they could find a charge against Him.

In response, Jesus asked the law experts and the Pharisees, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?"

And to them, He said, "Which of you whose son or ox falls into a well, will not immediately pull him out on the Sabbath day?"

There He saw a man who had a paralyzed hand. And in order to accuse Him they asked Him, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?"

A man is worth far more than a sheep, so it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath."

In order to accuse Him, they were watching Him closely to see whether He would heal him on the Sabbath.

Then He said to them, "Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?" But they were silent.

Immediately the Pharisees went out and started plotting with the Herodians against Him, how they might destroy Him.

The day that Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes was a Sabbath.

Therefore some of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God, for He doesn't keep the Sabbath!" But others were saying, "How can a sinful man perform such signs?" And there was a division among them.
