20Brethren, do not be children in understanding; however, in malice be babes, but in understanding be mature.

21'With men of other tongues and other lips I will speak to this people; And yet, for all that, they will not hear Me,'

22Therefore tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe but to unbelievers; but prophesying is not for unbelievers but for those who believe.

23Therefore if the whole church comes together in one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those who are uninformed or unbelievers, will they not say that you are out of your mind?

24But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or an uninformed person comes in, he is convinced by all, he is convicted by all.

25And thus the secrets of his heart are revealed; and so, falling down on his face, he will worship God and report that God is truly among you.

1Now it happened on the second Sabbath after the first that He went through the grainfields. And His disciples plucked the heads of grain and ate them, rubbing them in their hands.

2And some of the Pharisees said to them, 'Why are you doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath?'

3But Jesus answering them said, 'Have you not even read this, what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him:

4how he went into the house of God, took and ate the showbread, and also gave some to those with him, which is not lawful for any but the priests to eat?'

5And He said to them, 'The Son of Man is also Lord of the Sabbath.'

6Now it happened on another Sabbath, also, that He entered the synagogue and taught. And a man was there whose right hand was withered.

7So the scribes and Pharisees watched Him closely, whether He would heal on the Sabbath, that they might find an accusation against Him.

8But He knew their thoughts, and said to the man who had the withered hand, 'Arise and stand here.' And he arose and stood.

9Then Jesus said to them, 'I will ask you one thing: Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy?'

10And when He had looked around at them all, He said to the man, 'Stretch out your hand.' And he did so, and his hand was restored as whole as the other.
