The Scriptures 1998

Matthew 12:3-9 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

3. But He said to them, “Have you not read what Dawiḏ did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him:

4. how he went into the House of Elohim and ate the showbread which was not right for him to eat, nor for those who were with him, but only for the priests?

5. “Or did you not read in the Torah that on the Sabbath the priests in the Set-apart Place profane the Sabbath, and are blameless?

6. “But I say to you that in this place there is One greater than the Set-apart Place.

7. “And if you had known what this means, ‘I desire compassion and not offering,’ you would not have condemned the blameless.

8. “For the Son of Aḏam is Master of the Sabbath.”

9. And having left there, He went into their congregation.
