Mt 12:1-21 (King James)

   ¹ At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn and to eat. ² But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day. ³ But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him; ⁴ How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests? ⁵ Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless? ⁶ But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple. ⁷ But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless. ⁸ For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day. ⁹ And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue: ¹⁰ And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him. ¹¹ And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out? ¹² How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days. ¹³ Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other.
   ¹⁴ Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him. ¹⁵ But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all; ¹⁶ And charged them that they should not make him known: ¹⁷ That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, ¹⁸ Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles. ¹⁹ He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets. ²⁰ A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory. ²¹ And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.

Mt 12:1-21 (Ostervald)

   ¹ En ce temps-là, Jésus passait par des blés un jour de sabbat; et ses disciples, ayant faim, se mirent à arracher des épis et à en manger. ² Les pharisiens, voyant cela, lui dirent: Voilà tes disciples qui font ce qu'il n'est pas permis de faire le jour du sabbat. ³ Mais il leur dit: N'avez-vous pas lu ce que fit David ayant faim, tant lui que ceux qui étaient avec lui, ⁴ Comment il entra dans la maison de Dieu, et mangea les pains de proposition, dont il n'était pas permis de manger, ni à lui, ni à ceux qui étaient avec lui, mais aux seuls sacrificateurs? ⁵ Ou n'avez-vous pas lu dans la loi que les sacrificateurs, au jour du sabbat, violent le sabbat dans le temple, sans être coupables? ⁶ Or, je vous dis qu'il y a ici quelqu'un qui est plus grand que le temple. ⁷ Que si vous saviez ce que signifie: Je veux la miséricorde, et non pas le sacrifice, vous n'auriez pas condamné des innocents. ⁸ Car le Fils de l'homme est maître même du sabbat. ⁹ Étant parti de là, il vint dans leur synagogue. ¹⁰ Et il y trouva un homme qui avait une main sèche; et ils lui demandèrent, pour avoir lieu de l'accuser: Est-il permis de guérir dans les jours de sabbat? ¹¹ Et il leur dit: Qui sera celui d'entre vous, qui, ayant une brebis, si elle tombe le jour du sabbat dans une fosse, ne la prenne et ne l'en retire? ¹² Or, combien un homme vaut-il mieux qu'une brebis! Il est donc permis de faire du bien dans les jours de sabbat. ¹³ Alors il dit à cet homme: Étends ta main. Et il l'étendit, et elle devint saine comme l'autre.
   ¹⁴ Là-dessus, les pharisiens, étant sortis, délibérèrent entre eux comment ils le feraient périr. ¹⁵ Mais Jésus, l'ayant connu, partit de là; et une grande multitude le suivit, et il les guérit tous. ¹⁶ Et il leur défendit fortement de le faire connaître; ¹⁷ De sorte que fut accompli ce qui avait été dit par Ésaïe le prophète en ces termes: ¹⁸ Voici mon serviteur que j'ai élu, mon bien-aimé en qui mon âme a pris plaisir; je mettrai mon Esprit sur lui, et il annoncera la justice aux nations; ¹⁹ Il ne contestera point, et ne criera point, et on n'entendra point sa voix dans les places; ²⁰ Il ne rompra pas le roseau froissé, et il n'éteindra pas le lumignon qui fume encore, jusqu'à ce qu'il ait rendu la justice victorieuse; ²¹ Et les nations espéreront en son nom.

Mt 12:1-21 (Vulgate)

   ¹ In illo tempore abiit Jesus per sata sabbato : discipuli autem ejus esurientes cœperunt vellere spicas, et manducare.
   ² Pharisæi autem videntes, dixerunt ei : Ecce discipuli tui faciunt quod non licet facere sabbatis.
   ³ At ille dixit eis : Non legistis quid fecerit David, quando esuriit, et qui cum eo erant :
   ⁴ quomodo intravit in domum Dei, et panes propositionis comedit, quos non licebat ei edere, neque his qui cum eo erant, nisi solis sacerdotibus ?
   ⁵ aut non legistis in lege quia sabbatis sacerdotes in templo sabbatum violant, et sine crimine sunt ?
   ⁶ Dico autem vobis, quia templo major est hic.
   ⁷ Si autem sciretis, quid est : Misericordiam volo, et non sacrificium : numquam condemnassetis innocentes :
   ⁸ dominus enim est Filius hominis etiam sabbati.
   ⁹ Et cum inde transisset, venit in synagogam eorum.
   ¹⁰ Et ecce homo manum habens aridam, et interrogabant eum, dicentes : Si licet sabbatis curare ? ut accusarent eum.
   ¹¹ Ipse autem dixit illis : Quis erit ex vobis homo, qui habeat ovem unam, et si ceciderit hæc sabbatis in foveam, nonne tenebit et levabit eam ?
   ¹² Quanto magis melior est homo ove ? itaque licet sabbatis benefacere.
   ¹³ Tunc ait homini : Extende manum tuam. Et extendit, et restituta est sanitati sicut altera.
   ¹⁴ Exeuntes autem pharisæi, consilium faciebant adversus eum, quomodo perderent eum.
   ¹⁵ Jesus autem sciens recessit inde : et secuti sunt eum multi, et curavit eos omnes :
   ¹⁶ et præcepit eis ne manifestum eum facerent.
   ¹⁷ Ut adimpleretur quod dictum est per Isaiam prophetam, dicentem :
   ¹⁸ [Ecce puer meus, quem elegi, dilectus meus,
in quo bene complacuit animæ meæ.
Ponam spiritum meum super eum,
et judicium gentibus nuntiabit.
   ¹⁹ Non contendet, neque clamabit,
neque audiet aliquis in plateis vocem ejus :
   ²⁰ arundinem quassatam non confringet,
et linum fumigans non extinguet,
donec ejiciat ad victoriam judicium :
   ²¹ et in nomine ejus gentes sperabunt.]
