Matthew 12:2-8

Living_Oracles(i) 2 The Pharisees observing this, said to him, Lo! your disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath. 3 He answered, Have you not read what David did, and his attendants, when they were hungry; 4 how he entered the tabernacle of God, and eat the loaves of the presence, which was not lawful for him, or his attendants, to eat but solely for the priests? 5 Or have you not learnt from the law, that the priests in the temple violate the rest to be observed on Sabbaths, and are blameless? 6 Now I affirm, that something greater than the temple is here. 7 But had you know what this means, "I desire humanity and not sacrifice," you would not have condemned the guiltless; 8 for the Son of Man is master of the Sabbath.
