Matthew 12:3-5

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

³ He said to them, Have you not even read what David did when he was hungry, and those who accompanied him—^(A)

⁴ How he went into the house of God and ate the loaves of the showbread—which was not lawful for him to eat, nor for the men who accompanied him, but for the priests only?

⁵ Or have you never read in the Law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple violate the sanctity of the Sabbath [breaking it] and yet are guiltless?^(B)
