Matthew 12:2-8

Coverdale(i) 2 When ye Pharises sawe that, they sayde vnto him: Beholde, thy disciples do that, which is not laufull to do vpon the Sabbath. 3 He sayde vnto them: haue ye not red what Dauid did, whan he was hongrie, & they also yt were with him? 4 How he entred in to the house of God, & ate the shew breds which were not laufull for him to eate, nether for the yt were with him, but onely for the prestes? 5 Or haue ye not red in the lawe how that the prestes in the temple breake the Sabbath, and yet are blamelesse? 6 But I saye vnto you: yt here is one greater then the temple. 7 But yf ye wyst what this were (I haue pleasure in mercy, and not in offeringe) ye wolde not haue condemned innocentes: 8 For the sonne of man is LORDE euen ouer the Sabbath.
