Matthew 12:11

New American Bible - revised edition

He said to them, “Which one of you who has a sheep that falls into a pit on the sabbath will not take hold of it and lift it out?

See the chapter Copy

At that time Jesus was going through a field of grain on the sabbath. His disciples were hungry and began to pick the heads of grain and eat them.

Then he said to them, “Who among you, if your son or ox falls into a cistern, would not immediately pull him out on the sabbath day?”

You shall not see your neighbor’s donkey or ox fallen on the road and ignore it; you must help in lifting it up. Various Precepts.
