Healing of a man with dropsy
A man with dropsy is healed by the Messiah Jesus during a Sabbath meal at the house of a Pharisee in Jerusalem. Facing the experts of the law, Jesus asks a question about the lawfulness of healing on the Sabbath, then acts without waiting for their answer. His listeners, unable to reply, remain silent. Luke is the only evangelist to report this episode (Luke 14.2-6), dated 4 December AD 32.
