On yet another Sabbath Day Jesus was invited to the home of a Religious Leader as you can read in Luke 14:1-4

One Sabbath, when Jesus went to eat in the house of a prominent Pharisee, He was being carefully watched. There in front of Him was a man suffering from dropsy. Jesus asked the Pharisees and the experts in the law, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?" But they remained silent. So taking hold of the man, He healed him and sent him away.

This time the healing took place at the home of a Pharisee rather than a synagogue. Hoever here too Jesus is being criticized for healing on the Sabbath.
