Context of Matthew 12:8
6But I tell you that something greater than the Temple is here. 7If you had known what this means, ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice,’ you wouldn’t have condemned the innocent. For the Son of Man is Lord of Shabbat.” 9Leaving from there, He went into their synagogue. 10A man with a withered hand was there.
