Healing on the Sabbath
Healing on the Sabbath
A boy asks Jesus to tell them more about the kingdom. Jesus teaches in the synagogue that believers shouldn't fear. That God is pleased to give them the kingdom. They can feel free to give because their treasure is somewhere else. He urges them to sell their possessions and give to people. He insists that they can make a treasure in heaven that will never wear out. He says that the treasure follows the heart and where it is.

ShareDo not be afraid, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom. Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide yourselves with purses that will not wear out, an inexhaustible treasure in heaven, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

When Jesus saw her, He called her over and said, “Woman, you are set free from your disability.” Then He placed His hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and began to glorify God. But the synagogue leader was indignant that Jesus had healed on the Sabbath. “There are six days for work,” he told the crowd. “So come and be healed on those days and not on the Sabbath.” “You hypocrites!” the Lord replied. “Does not each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or donkey from the stall and lead it to water? Then should not this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has kept bound for eighteen long years, be released from her bondage on the Sabbath day?” When Jesus said this, all His adversaries were humiliated. And the whole crowd rejoiced at all the glorious things He was doing.
