Luke 6:1 - 26

This section shows Jesus' activity on two separate Sabbaths.  At one, He is questioned by the religious leaders for allowing His disciples to work on the Sabbath by rubbing heads of grain together to get the kernels to eat.  Jesus responds by reminding the leaders that God's intent is for man to enjoy the Sabbath within its rules; and that He was the one in control of the Sabbath and its activities.

On another Sabbath, the rulers watched to see if Jesus would heal a man on the Sabbath day.  Jesus does so, citing the fact that the Sabbath was made to enjoy doing what is good.  What is better than saving and preserving life?
