Matthew⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ In that tyme went Iesus on the Saboth dayes thorowe the corne and his discyples were an hungred, and began to plucke the eares of corne and to eate. ² When the Phariseis sawe that they sayde vnto him: Beholde, thy discyples do that which is not laufwl to do vpon the saboth daye. ³ He sayde vnto them: Haue ye not read what Dauid dyd, when he was an hungred, and they also whiche were with hym? ⁴ How he entred into the house of God, & eate the halowed louwes, which were not lawful, for him to eate, neyther for them which were with him but onlye for the priestes. ⁵ Or haue ye not read in the law, how that the pryestes in the temple breake the saboth day, and yet are blamlesse: ⁶ But I say vnto you: that here is one greater then the temple. ⁷ Wherfore if ye had wist what this sayinge meaneth: I require mercye and not sacrifyce: ye would neuer haue condemned innocentes: ⁸ For the sonne of man is Lorde euen of the saboth day.
