Matthew 12:5-7
Jubilee Bible 2000
5 Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath and are blameless?
6 But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple.
7 But if ye knew what this means, I will have mercy and not sacrifice, ye would not condemn the innocent.
