Matthew 12:2-8

Murdock(i) 2 And when the Pharisees saw them, they said to him: See; thy disciples are doing that which it is not lawful to do on the sabbath. 3 But he said to them, Have ye not read what David did when he was hungry, and they that were with him? 4 How he went to the house of God, and ate the bread of the Lord's table; which it was not lawful for him to eat, nor for them that were with him, but solely for the priests? 5 Or have ye not read in the law, how that in the temple the priests profane the sabbath, and are without fault? 6 But I say to you, that a greater than the temple is here. 7 And if ye had known what that is, I desire mercy, and not sacrifice; ye would not have criminated them who are without fault. 8 For the Son of man, is lord of the sabbath.
