Matthew 12:1-8

  1 G1722 At G1565 that G2540 season G2424 Jesus G4198 [G5675] went G4521 on the sabbath G1223 through G4702 the sown fields; G1161 and G846 his G3101 disciples G3983 [G5656] were hungry, G2532 and G756 [G5662] began G5089 [G5721] to pluck G4719 the ears of corn, G2532 and G2068 [G5721] to eat.

  2 G1161 But G5330 when the Pharisees G1492 [G5631] saw G2036 [G5627] it, they said G846 to him, G2400 [G5628] Behold, G4675 thy G3101 disciples G4160 [G5719] do G3739 that which G1832 0 it is G3756 not G1832 [G5748] allowed G4160 [G5721] to do G1722 on G4521 the sabbath.

  3 G1161 But G2036 [G5627] he said G846 to them, G314 0 { Have ye G3756 not G314 [G5627] read G5101 what G1138 David G4160 [G5656] did, G3753 when G846 he G3983 [G5656] was hungry, G2532 and G3326 they G846 that were with him;}

  4 G4459 { How G1525 G1519 [G5627] he entered into G3624 the house G2316 of God, G2532 and G5315 [G5627] ate G740 G4286 the showbread, G3739 which G2258 [G5713] it was G3756 not G1832 [G5752] being allowed G846 for him G5315 [G5629] to eat, G3761 neither for G3326 them who G846 were with him, G1508 but G3441 only G2409 for the priests?}

  5 G2228 { Or G314 0 have ye G3756 not G314 [G5627] read G1722 in G3551 the law, G3754 that G4521 on the sabbath G2409 the priests G1722 in G2411 the temple G953 [G5719] profane G4521 the sabbath, G2532 and G1526 [G5748] are G338 blameless?}

  6 G1161 { But G3004 [G5719] I say G5213 to you, G3754 That G5602 in this place G2076 [G5748] is one G3187 greater than G2411 the temple.}

  7 G1161 { But G1487 if G1097 [G5715] ye had known G5101 what G2076 [G5748] this meaneth, G2309 [G5719] I will have G1656 mercy, G2532 and G3756 not G2378 sacrifice, G302 ye would G3756 not G2613 [G5656] have condemned G338 the guiltless.}

  8 G1063 { For G5207 the Son G444 of man G2076 [G5748] is G2962 Lord G2532 even G4521 of the sabbath.}
