Matthew 12:5-7
New English Translation
5 Or have you not read in the law that the priests in the temple desecrate the Sabbath and yet are not guilty? 6 I[a] tell you that something greater than the temple is here. 7 If[b] you had known what this means: ‘I want mercy and not sacrifice,’[c] you would not have condemned the innocent.
