MLV(i)
2 But the Pharisees, having seen it, said to him, Behold, your disciples are doing what is not legal to practice upon the Sabbath.
3 But he said to them, Have you not read what David did, when he himself was hungry and those with him; 4 how he entered into the house of God and ate the showbread, which was not legal for him to eat, nor those with him, unlawful except for the priests only? 5 Or have you not read in the law, that on the Sabbath day the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath and yet are crimeless? 6 But I saying to you, that a greater thing than the temple is here. 7 But if you had known what is meant by this, ‘I will to have mercy and not sacrifice,’ You would not have sentenced the crimeless. 8 For the Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath.
