Matthew(i)
2 When the Phariseis sawe that they sayde vnto him: Beholde, thy discyples do that which is not laufwl to do vpon the saboth daye.
3 He sayde vnto them: Haue ye not read what Dauid dyd, when he was an hungred, and they also whiche were with hym?
4 How he entred into the house of God, & eate the halowed louwes, which were not lawful, for him to eate, neyther for them which were with him but onlye for the priestes.
5 Or haue ye not read in the law, how that the pryestes in the temple breake the saboth day, and yet are blamlesse:
6 But I say vnto you: that here is one greater then the temple.
7 Wherfore if ye had wist what this sayinge meaneth: I require mercye and not sacrifyce: ye would neuer haue condemned innocentes:
8 For the sonne of man is Lorde euen of the saboth day.
