3. Yesu akawauliza waalimu wa sheria na Mafarisayo, “Je, ni halali au la kumponya mtu siku ya Sabato?”
4. Lakini wao wakakaa kimya. Yesu akamshika huyo mgonjwa, akamponya, akamwacha aende zake.
5. Halafu akawaambia, “Ni nani kati yenu ambaye mtoto wake au ng'ombe wake akitumbukia shimoni, hangemtoa hata kama ni siku ya Sabato?”
6. Nao hawakuweza kumjibu swali hilo.
