Matthew 12:3-5

Expanded Bible

³ Jesus answered, “Have you not read what David did when he and ·the people with him [his companions] were hungry? ⁴ He went into God’s house, and he and ·those with him [his companions] ate the ·holy bread [consecrated bread; ^Lbread of presentation], which was ·lawful [allowed] only for priests to eat [Ex. 25:30; Lev. 24:5–9]. ⁵ And have you not read in the ·law of Moses [^LLaw] that on every Sabbath day the priests in the Temple ·break this law about [violate; desecrate; profane] the Sabbath day [^Cby working when they offer sacrifices]? But the priests are ·not wrong for doing that [^Linnocent; not guilty].
