  58 Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

  1 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I commanded the assemblies of Galatia, you do likewise.

  2 On the first day of every week, let each one of you save, as he may prosper, that no collections are made when I come.

  3 When I arrive, I will send whoever you approve with letters to carry your gracious gift to Jerusalem.

- Gospel

  Luke 6:1–10

  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.
