128. A Dinner at a Pharisee’s House: the Healing of the Man With Dropsy. Lk. 14:1–6

It came to pass that on the Sabbath He went to the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees to take a meal, and they were watching Him. And behold, there was a man before Him who had dropsy. For this reason the Lord Jesus asked the lawyers and Pharisees: Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath? And they were silent.

Then the Lord, touching him, healed him and let him go. And He said to them: Which of you, if your ass or your ox falls into a well, will not immediately pull it out on the Sabbath? And they could not answer Him on this.
