Matthew 12:2-8

Etheridge(i) 2 But when the Pharishee saw them, they say to him, Look, thy disciples do something which is not lawful to be done on the sabbath. 3 But he said to them, Have you not read what David did when he hungered, and they who were with him? 4 how he went to the house of Aloha, and the bread of the table of the Lord did he eat, - that which was not lawful for him to eat, nor for them who were with him, but for the priests only? 5 Or have you not read in the law that the priests in the temple profane the sabbath in it, and are without blame? 6 But I say to you, that (one) greater than the temple is here. 7 Moreover, if you knew what that (meaneth), " I desire mercy and not a sacrifice," you would not have condemned them who are not faulty. 8 For the Lord of the sabbath is the Son of man.
