  **Show the text**

  39 All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, another flesh of animals, another of fish, and another of birds.

  40 There are also celestial bodies and terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial differs from that of the terrestrial.

  41 There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory.

  42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown perishable; it is raised imperishable.

  43 It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.

  44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body and there is also a spiritual body.

  45 So also it is written, “The first man, Adam, became a living soul.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

- Gospel

  Luke 6:1–10

  **Show the text**

  1 Now on the second Sabbath after the first, he was going through the grain fields. His disciples plucked the heads of grain and ate, rubbing them in their hands.

  2 But some of the Pharisees said to them, “Why do you do that which is not lawful to do on the Sabbath day?”

  3 Jesus, answering them, said, “Haven’t you read what David did when he was hungry, he, and those who were with him;

  4 how he entered into God’s house, and took and ate the show bread, and gave also to those who were with him, which is not lawful to eat except for the priests alone?”

  5 He said to them, “The Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath.”

  6 It also happened on another Sabbath that he entered into the synagogue and taught. There was a man there, and his right hand was withered.

  7 The scribes and the Pharisees watched him, to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath, that they might find an accusation against him.

  8 But he knew their thoughts; and he said to the man who had the withered hand, “Rise up, and stand in the middle.” He arose and stood.

  9 Then Jesus said to them, “I will ask you something: Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good, or to do harm? To save a life, or to kill?”

  10 He looked around at them all, and said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did, and his hand was restored as sound as the other.
