Matthew 12:5-7

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁵ Or have you not read in the law that on the sabbath the priests in the temple break the sabbath and yet are guiltless? ⁶ I tell you, something greater than the temple is here. ⁷ But if you had known what this means, “I desire mercy and not sacrifice”, you would not have condemned the guiltless.
