‘Jesus asked the experts in the law and the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to cure people on the Sabbath or not?” But they were silent. So Jesus took the man and healed him and sent him away.’ Luke 14:3-4
Martin Luther King used to say, “The time is always right to do right.” I don’t know whether Dr. King had this story in mind, but he’d certainly have gone along with Jesus.
