Matthew 12:6-8

New International Reader's Version

⁶ I tell you that something more important than the temple is here. ⁷ Scripture says, ‘I want mercy and not sacrifice.’ (Hosea 6:6) You don’t know what those words mean. If you did, you would not bring charges against those who are not guilty. ⁸ The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath day.”
