Matthew 12:7-9

The Voice

⁷ Do you not understand what the prophet Hosea recorded, “I desire mercy, not sacrifice”^[a]? If you understood that snippet of Scripture, you would not condemn these innocent men for ostensibly breaking the law of the Sabbath. ⁸ For the Son of Man has not only the authority to heal and cast out demons, He also has authority over the Sabbath.
