Matthew 12:1-8 : King James Version

12 1At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day
through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to
pluck the ears of corn and to eat. 2But when the
Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that
which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day. 3But he
said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an
hungred, and they that were with him; 4How he entered
into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not
lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but
only for the priests? 5Or have ye not read in the law,
how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the
sabbath, and are blameless? 6But I say unto you, That in
this place is one greater than the temple. 7But if ye had
known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye
would not have condemned the guiltless. 8For the Son of
man is Lord even of the sabbath day.
