Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the fabbath-days the priests in the temple profane the fabbath, and are blameless? 6 But I fay unto you, that in this place is one greater than the temple. 7 But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy and not facrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless. |
