καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς Ἔξεστιν τοῖς σάββασιν ἀγαθοποιῆσαι ἢ κακοποιῆσαι ψυχὴν σῶσαι ἢ ἀποκτεῖναι οἱ δὲ ἐσιώπων
And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace.
πόσῳ οὖν διαφέρει ἄνθρωπος προβάτου ὥστε ἔξεστιν τοῖς σάββασιν καλῶς ποιεῖν
How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.
καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν πρὸς τοὺς νομικοὺς καὶ Φαρισαίους λέγων Ἐι Ἔξεστιν τῷ σαββάτῳ θεραπεύειν
And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?
οὐ Μωσῆς δέδωκεν ὑμῖν τὸν νόμον καὶ οὐδεὶς ἐξ ὑμῶν ποιεῖ τὸν νόμον τί με ζητεῖτε ἀποκτεῖναι
Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?
ὁ γὰρ ὑιὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου οὐκ ἦλθεν ψυχὰς ἀνθρώπων ἀπολέσαι αλλα σῶσαι καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν εἰς ἑτέραν κώμην
For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.
