Scriptures

New Living Translation (NLT)

Luke 5
³⁸ New wine must be stored in new wineskins.
³⁹ But no one who drinks the old wine seems to want the new wine. ‘The old is just fine,’ they say.”
Luke 6
¹ One Sabbath day as Jesus was walking through some grainfields, his disciples broke off heads of grain, rubbed off the husks in their hands, and ate the grain.
² But some Pharisees said, “Why are you breaking the law by harvesting grain on the Sabbath?”
³ Jesus replied, “Haven’t you read in the Scriptures what David did when he and his companions were hungry?
⁴ He went into the house of God and broke the law by eating the sacred loaves of bread that only the priests can eat. He also gave some to his companions.”
⁵ And Jesus added, “The Son of Man is Lord, even over the Sabbath.”
⁶ On another Sabbath day, a man with a deformed right hand was in the synagogue while Jesus was teaching.
⁷ The teachers of religious law and the Pharisees watched Jesus closely. If he healed the man’s hand, they planned to accuse him of working on the Sabbath.
⁸ But Jesus knew their thoughts. He said to the man with the deformed hand, “Come and stand in front of everyone.” So the man came forward.
⁹ Then Jesus said to his critics, “I have a question for you. Does the law permit good deeds on the Sabbath, or is it a day for doing evil? Is this a day to save life or to destroy it?”
