Matthew 12:7-14 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

7. But if you had known what this means, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, you would not have condemned the guiltless.

8. For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.

9. And when he was departed from there, he went into their synagogue:

10. And, behold, there was a man who had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.

11. And he said unto them,

12. How much then is a man better than a sheep? Therefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.

13. Then he said to the man,

14. Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.
