40:012:003 But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;

40:012:004 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?

40:012:005 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?

40:012:006 But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the
temple.

40:012:007 But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and
not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.

40:012:008 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.

40:012:009 And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue:

40:012:010 And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And
they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath
days? that they might accuse him.

40:012:011 And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that
shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath
day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?

40:012:012 How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.
