rotherham@Matthew:12:1 @ In that season, went Jesus, on, the sabbath, through the cornfields, and, his disciples, hungered, and began to pluck ears of corn, and to eat.

rotherham@Matthew:12:2 @ But, the Pharisees, observing it, said unto him, Lo! thy disciples, are doing what is not allowed to do, on sabbath.

rotherham@Matthew:12:3 @ And he said unto them, have ye never read what, David, did, when he hungered, and they who were with him? how

rotherham@Matthew:12:4 @ he entered into the house of God and, the presence-bread, did eat, which it was not, allowable, for him to eat, nor for them who were with him, save for the priests, alone?

rotherham@Matthew:12:5 @ Or have ye not read, in the law, that, on the sabbaths, the priests, in the temple, the sabbath, profane, and are, blameless?

rotherham@Matthew:12:6 @ But I say unto you, Something greater than the Temple, is here!

rotherham@Matthew:12:7 @ If, however, ye had known what this meaneth Mercy, I desire, and not, sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the blameless;

rotherham@Matthew:12:8 @ For, the Son of Man, is, Lord of the Sabbath.

rotherham@Matthew:12:9 @ And, passing on from thence, he came into their synagogue;

rotherham@Matthew:12:10 @ and lo! a man having, a withered hand, and they questioned him, saying, Is it allowable, on the sabbath, to heal? that they might accuse him.

rotherham@Matthew:12:11 @ And said unto them, What man, from among yourselves, shall there be, Who shall have one sheep, and, if this should fall, on the sabbath, into a pit, will not lay hold of it, and raise it?

rotherham@Matthew:12:12 @ How much better, then, a man, than, a sheep? So that it is allowable, on the sabbath, nobly, to act.

rotherham@Matthew:12:13 @ Then saith he unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand! And he stretched it forth, and it was restored, whole, as the other.

rotherham@Matthew:12:14 @ And the Pharisees, going forth, took, counsel, against him, to the end that, him, they might destroy.
