Matthew 12:11

Bible in Basic English 1965

And he said to them, Which of you, having a sheep, if it gets into a hole on the Sabbath day, will not put out a helping hand and get it back?

See the chapter Copy

At that time Jesus went through the fields on the Sabbath day; and his disciples, being in need of food, were taking the heads of grain.

And he said to them, Which of you, whose ox or ass has got into a water-hole, will not straight away get him out on the Sabbath?

If you see your brother's ox or his ass falling down on the road, do not go by without giving him help in lifting it up again.
