Matthew 12:2-7
2NowG1161 when the PhariseesG5330 sawG3708 this, they saidG3004 to Him, “LookG2400, Your disciplesG3101 are doingG4160 whatG3739 1is not lawfulG1832 to doG4160 on a SabbathG4521!”
3But He saidG3004 to them, “Have you not readG314 whatG5101 DavidG1160 didG4160 whenG3753 he became hungryG3983, he and his companionsG3588G3326--
4howG4459 he enteredG1525 the houseG3624 of GodG2316, and 2they ateG2068 the 3consecratedG4286 breadG740, whichG3739 was not lawfulG1832 for him to eatG2068 norG3761 for thoseG3588 with him, but for the priestsG2409 aloneG3441?
5OrG2228 have you not readG314 in the LawG3551 that on the SabbathG4521 the priestsG2409 in the templeG2413 4violateG953 the SabbathG4521, and yet are innocentG338?
6But I sayG3004 to you that something 5greaterG3173 than the templeG2413 is hereG5602.
7But ifG1487 you had knownG1097 whatG5101 this 6meansG1510: ‘7I desireG2309 8compassionG1656, 9ratherG3756 thanG2532 sacrificeG2378,’ you would not have condemnedG2613 10the innocentG338.
