t for the priests, and gave also to them that were
with him? [2:27]And he said to them, The sabbath was made for man, and
not man for the sabbath; [2:28]so that the Son of man is Lord even of
the sabbath.

6 [3:1]And he entered again into the synagogue, and there was a man
there having a withered hand. [3:2]And they watched him [to see] if he
would cure him on the sabbath, that they might accuse him. [3:3]And he
said to the man having the withered hand, Arise in the midst. [3:4]And
he said to them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath, or to do evil?
to save life, or to kill? And they were silent. [3:5]And looking around
on them in anger, being grieved at the hardness of their hearts, he
said to the man, Stretch out your hand. And he stretched it out, and

they went to him. [3:14]And he appointed twelve, that they should be
with him, and that he might send them out to preach, [3:15]and have
power to cast out demons. [3:16]And he gave to Simon the name of Peter.
[He appointed him], [3:17]and James the son of Zebedee, and John the
brother of James--and he gave them the names of Boanerges, which is,
