1 One Sabbath day Jesus went to eat dinner in the home of a leader of the Pharisees, and the people were watching him closely. 2 There was a man there whose arms and legs were swollen. 3 Jesus asked the Pharisees and experts in religious law, "Is it permitted in the law to heal people on the Sabbath day, or not?"

37 As Jesus was speaking, one of the Pharisees invited him home for a meal. So he went in and took his place at the table.

Deuteronomy 5:14
14 But the seventh day is a Sabbath day of rest dedicated to the LORD your God. On that day no one in your household may do any work. This includes you, your sons and daughters, your male and female servants, your oxen...
 
Deuteronomy 5:15
15 Remember that you were once slaves in Egypt, but the LORD your God brought you out with his strong hand and powerful arm. That is why the LORD your God has commanded you to rest on the Sabbath day.
 
Matthew 5:16 (Scripture Reading)
16 In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.  
 
Luke 14:6

26 So they failed to trap him by what he said in front of the people. Instead, they were amazed by his answer, and they became silent.

12 Everyone listened quietly as Barnabas and Paul told about the miraculous signs and wonders God had done through them among the Gentiles.
 
Acts 22:1-2
1 "Brothers and esteemed fathers," Paul said, "listen to me as I offer my defense." 2 When they heard him speaking in their own language, the silence was even greater.
 
For us too

  3. After His death (Luke 23:56b)
  4. Into the future (Matthew 24:20)
2 Corinthians 3:2-3
2 The only letter of recommendation we need is you yourselves. Your lives are a letter written in our hearts; everyone can read it and recognize our good work among you. 3 Clearly, you are a letter from Christ showing the result of our ministry among you. This "letter" is written not with pen and ink, but with the Spirit of the living God. It is carved not on tablets of stone, but on human hearts.
