Luke 14:1-6 is a passage describing not an actual miracle, but a hypothetical one. Jesus asks the Pharisees whether it is permissible to heal on the Sabbath, knowing that they have criticized him for this very thing. They refuse to answer because they are well aware of the provisions in Leviticus allowing certain acts of mercy to be performed on the Sabbath.
