Matthew 12:1-8

Christian Standard Bible

Lord of the Sabbath

12 At that time Jesus passed through the grainfields on the Sabbath.^(A) His disciples^(B) were hungry and began to pick and eat some heads of grain. ²When the Pharisees saw this, they said to him, “See, your disciples are doing what is not lawful^(C) to do on the Sabbath.”

³He said to them, “Haven’t you read what David did when he and those who were with him were hungry: ⁴how he entered the house of God, and they ate^[a] the bread of the Presence—which is not lawful for him or for those with him to eat, but only for the priests?^(D) ⁵Or haven’t you read in the law that on Sabbath days the priests in the temple violate the Sabbath and are innocent?^(E) ⁶I tell you that something greater than the temple is here.^(F) ⁷If you had known what this means, I desire mercy and not sacrifice,^[b]^(G) you would not have condemned the innocent. ⁸For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”^(H)

Lord of the Sabbath

²³On^(A) the Sabbath he was going through the grainfields, and his disciples^(B) began to make their way, picking some heads of grain. ²⁴The Pharisees^(C) said to him, “Look, why are they doing what is not lawful^(D) on the Sabbath?”

²⁵He said to them, “Have you never read what David^(E) and those who were with him did when he was in need^(F) and hungry^(G) — ²⁶how he entered the house of God in the time of Abiathar^(H) the high priest^(I) and ate the bread of the Presence^(J) —which is not lawful for anyone to eat except the priests^(K) —and also gave some to his companions?” ²⁷Then he told them, “The Sabbath was made for^[a] man and not man for the Sabbath.^(L) ²⁸So then, the Son of Man^(M) is Lord^(N) even of the Sabbath.”^(O)
