And behold, there was a certain man before Him who had dropsy. And Jesus, answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, ‘Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?’ But they kept silent.

Only those who believe

we have fallen away from God's grace
(Galatians 5:4).

the law
(Galatians 2:16).
Through Jesus everyone who believes is set free
from every sin
(Acts 13:39).
