Matthew 12 📜 📕 ↷
Lord of the Sabbath
1 AT that time JESUS went through the corn on the Sabboth: and his Disciples being hungry, began to pluck the ears, and to eat.📜💬📚
2 And the Pharisees seeing them, said to him: Lo, thy Disciples do that which is not lawful for them to do on the Sabboth-days.📜💬📚
3 But he said to them: Have you not read what David did when he was an hungered, and they that were with him:📜💬📚
4 how he entered into the house of God, and did eat the loaves of proposition, which it was not lawful for him to eat, nor for them that were with him, but for Priests only?📜💬📚
5 Or have ye not read in the Law, that on Sabboth-days the Priests in the temple do break the Sabboth, & are without blame?📜💬📚
6 But I tell you that there is here a greater than the temple.📜💬📚
7 And if you did know what it is, I will mercy, and not Sacrifice: you would never have condemned the innocents.📜💬📚
8 For the Son of man is Lord of the Sabboth also.📜💬📚
