Matthew 12:11-13

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹¹ But he said to them: What man shall there be among you, that hath one sheep: and if the same fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not take hold on it and lift it up?

¹² How much better is a man than a sheep? Therefore it is lawful to do a good deed on the sabbath days.

¹³ Then he saith to the man: Stretch forth thy hand; and he stretched it forth, and it was restored to health even as the other.
