Matthew:12:2-8

*
But when the Pharisees saw it ,
they said unto him ,
Behold ,
thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day .
*
But he said unto them ,
Have ye not read what David did ,
when he was an hungred ,
and they that were with him ;
*
How he entered into the house of God ,
and did eat the 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 profane the sabbath ,
and are blameless ?
*
But I say unto you ,
That in this place is one greater than the temple .
*
But if ye had known what this meaneth ,
I will have mercy ,
and not sacrifice ,
ye would not have condemned the guiltless .
*
For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day .
