Matthew 12:5

5Or haven’t you read in the Law that the priests on Sabbath duty in the temple desecrate the Sabbath and yet are innocent?

5Or have you not read in the Law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple 12:5 Or profaneviolate the Sabbath, and yet are innocent?

5Or have you not read in the Law, that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple break the Sabbath and are innocent?

5Or have you not read in the Law, that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple break [the sanctity of] the Sabbath and yet are innocent? [Num 28:9, 10]

5Or haven’t you read in the Law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple break the Sabbath and yet are innocent?

5Haven’t you read the Law? It tells how every Sabbath day the priests in the temple have to do their work on that day. But they are not considered guilty.
