Matthew 12:6-8

Contemporary English Version

⁶ I tell you there is something here greater than the temple. ^7 (A) Don't you know what the Scriptures mean when they say, “Instead of offering sacrifices to me, I want you to be merciful to others?” If you knew what this means, you would not condemn these innocent disciples of mine. ⁸ So the Son of Man is Lord over the Sabbath.
