Matthew 12:10-12

International Children’s Bible

¹⁰ In the synagogue, there was a man with a crippled hand. Some Jews there were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus of doing wrong. So they asked him, “Is it right to heal on the Sabbath day?”^[a]

¹¹ Jesus answered, “If any of you has a sheep, and it falls into a ditch on the Sabbath day, then you will take the sheep and help it out of the ditch. ¹² Surely a man is more important than a sheep. So the law of Moses allows people to do good things on the Sabbath day.”
