NgokukaLuka 6:1-11

Kwathi ngesabatha wadabula amasimu; abafundi bakhe bakha izikhwebu, badla bezihlikihla ngezandla. Kepha abathile babaFarisi bathi: “Nenzelani lokho okungavunyelwe ngesabatha na?” UJesu ebaphendula wathi: “Anifundanga yini ngalokho akwenza uDavide mhla elambile yena nababe naye ukuthi wangena endlini kaNkulunkulu, wathatha izinkwa zokubukwa ezingavunyelwe ukudliwa muntu, ngabapristi bodwa, wadla, wanika nababe naye, na?” Wathi kubo: “INdodana yomuntu iyiNkosi neyesabatha.” Kwathi-ke ngelinye isabatha wangena esinagogeni,* wafundisa. Kwakukhona umuntu lapho osandla sakhe sokunene sasishwabene. Ababhali nabaFarisi bamqaphelisisa ukuthi uyaphilisa yini ngesabatha, ukuze bathole ukumbeka icala. Kepha wazazi izizindlo zabo wathi kuyo indoda esandla sishwabene: “Sukuma, ume phakathi.” Wasukuma-ke, wema. UJesu wathi kubo: “Ngiyanibuza ukuthi kuvunyelwe ngesabatha ukwenza okuhle noma okubi yini, ukusindisa umuntu noma ukumbulala, na?” Esebaqalazile bonke wathi kuye: “Yelula isandla sakho.” Wenze njalo-ke saze saphiliswa isandla sakhe. Base begcwala ukuhlanya, bakhuluma bodwa ngokuthi bangamenze njani uJesu.
