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.
