Luke 6:10
"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?”"
Key Reflection
Jesus' question challenges the Pharisees to reconsider their strict interpretation of the law in light of compassion and mercy. By asking if it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath, Jesus invites them to prioritize acts of kindness over legalistic restrictions, foreshadowing his own healing ministry on that day.
