Bible verse
And He asked them, “Which of you whose son or ox falls into a pit on the Sabbath day will not immediately pull him out?”
Luke 14:5 · BSB
The verses around it, from Luke 14.
1 One Sabbath, Jesus went to eat in the home of a leading Pharisee, and those in attendance were watching Him closely.
2 Right there before Him was a man with dropsy.
3 So Jesus asked the experts in the law and the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”
4 But they remained silent. Then Jesus took hold of the man, healed him, and sent him on his way.
5 And He asked them, “Which of you whose son or ox falls into a pit on the Sabbath day will not immediately pull him out?”
6 And they were unable to answer these questions.
7 When Jesus noticed how the guests chose the places of honor, He told them a parable:
8 “When you are invited to a wedding banquet, do not sit in the place of honor, in case someone more distinguished than you has been invited.
9 Then the host who invited both of you will come and tell you, ‘Give this man your seat.’ And in humiliation, you will have to take the last place.
