Matthew 12:1-8
Sabbath Questions
1 ▼▼Or On that occasion
bAt that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath, and His disciples became hungry and began to cpick the heads of grain and eat. 2Now when the Pharisees saw this, they said to Him, “Look, Your disciples are doing what dis not lawful to do on a Sabbath!” 3But He said to them, “Have you not read what David did when he became hungry, he and his companions-- 4 how he entered the house of God, and ethey ate the ▼▼Lit loaves of presentation
consecrated bread, which was not lawful for him to eat nor for those with him, but for the priests alone? 5 Or have you not read in the Law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple ▼▼Or profane
violate the Sabbath, and yet are innocent? 6 But I say to you that something hgreater than the temple is here. 7 But if you had known what this ▼▼Lit is
means: ‘ jI desire ▼▼Or mercy
compassion, ▼▼Lit and not
rather than sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned ▼▼Plural in the Gr
the innocent. Lord of the Sabbath
8 For nthe Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
