The Pharisees said to him, \u201cLook, why are they doing what is not lawful on the sabbath?\u201d And he said to them, \u201cHave you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need of food? He entered the house of God, when Abiathar was high priest, and ate the bread of the Presence, which it is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and he gave some to his companions.\u201d Then he said to them, \u201cThe sabbath was made for humankind, and not humankind for the sabbath; so the Son of Man is lord even of the sabbath.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"lessonText\">Again he entered the synagogue, and a man was there who had a withered hand. They watched him to see whether he would cure him on the sabbath, so that they might accuse him. And he said to the man who had the withered hand, \u201cCome forward.\u201d Then he said to them, \u201cIs it lawful to do good or to do harm on the sabbath, to save life or to kill?\u201d But they were silent. He looked around at them with anger; he was grieved at their hardness of heart and said to the man, \u201cStretch out your hand.\u201d He stretched it out, and his hand was restored.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come.
