The King James Version Bible

Matthew 12:5-10

  1. 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?

  2. But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple.

  3. But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.

  4. For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.

  5. And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue:

  6. And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.
