New King James Version

Matthew 12:5-8 New King James Version (NKJV)

5. Or have you not read in the law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath, and are blameless?

6. Yet I say to you that in this place there is One greater than the temple.

7. But if you had known what this means, ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the guiltless.

8. For the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”
