*
And when the Pharises sawe it ,
they saide vnto him ,
Beholde ,
thy disciples doe that which is not lawfull to doe vpon the Sabbath .
*
But he said vnto them ,
Haue ye not read what Dauid did when he was an hungred , &
amp ;
they that were with him ?
*
How he entered into the house of God ,
and did eat the (
note :)
The Hebrews call it «
bread of faces »,
because it stood before the Lord all the week upon the golden table appointed for that service ; (
Lev_24
:6 ).(:
note )
shewbread ,
which was not lawful for him to eat ,
neither for them which were with him ,
but only for the priests ?
*
Or have ye not read in the law ,
how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple (
note :)
When the priests do God '
s service on the sabbath day ,
they do not break the law :
much less does the Lord of the Sabbath break the sabbath .(:
note )
profane the sabbath ,
and are blameless ?
*
But I say vnto you ,
that here is one greater then the Temple .
*
Wherefore if ye knewe what this is ,
I will haue mercie ,
and not sacrifice ,
ye would not haue condemned the innocents .
*
For the sonne of man is Lord ,
euen of the Sabbath .
*
*
And beholde ,
there was a man which had his hand dried vp ;
they asked him ,
saying ,
Is it lawfull to heale vpon a Sabbath day ?
That they might accuse him .
*
And he said vnto the ,
What man shall there be among you ,
that hath a sheepe , &
amp ;
if it fal on a Sabbath day into a pit ,
doth not take it &
amp ;
lift it out ?
*
How much more then is a man better then a sheepe ?
Therefore ,
it is lawfull to doe well on a Sabbath day .
*
Then said he to the man ,
Stretch forth thine hand ;
he stretched it foorth ,
and it was made whole as the other .
