Matthew 12:2-7

2When the PhariseesG5330 sawG3708 this, they saidG2036 to HimG846, “LookG2400, YourG4771 disciplesG3101 are doingG4160 whatG3739 is unlawfulG3756G1832G4160 onG1722 the SabbathG4521.”

Jesus repliedG2036, “Have you not readG3756G314 whatG5101 DavidG1138 didG4160 whenG3753 he andG2532 his companionsG3588G3326G846 were hungryG3983? 4He enteredG1525G1519 theG3588 houseG3624 of GodG2316, andG2532 he and his companions ateG5315 theG3588 consecrated breadG740G3588G4286,1 whichG3739 wasG1510 notG3756 lawfulG1832 forG846G3761G3588G3326 them to eatG5315, butG1487G3361 onlyG3441 for theG3588 priestsG2409.

5OrG2228 haven’t you readG3756G314 inG1722 theG3588 LawG3551 thatG3754 on theG3588 SabbathG4521 theG3588 priestsG2409 inG1722 theG3588 templeG2411 breakG953 theG3588 SabbathG4521 and yetG2532 areG1510 innocentG338? 6ButG1161 I tellG3004 youG4771 thatG3754 One greater thanG3173 theG3588 templeG2411 isG1510 hereG5602.

7IfG1487 onlyG1161 you had knownG1097 the meaning ofG5101G1510 ‘I desireG2309 mercyG1656, notG3756 sacrificeG2378,’2 you would not have condemnedG302G3756G2613 theG3588 innocentG338.
