Matthew 12:5 in Context — Matthew 12

3 Ele, porém, lhes disse: Não lestes o que Davi fez quando teve fome, ele e os que com ele estavam,

4 Como ele entrou na casa de Deus, e comeu os pães da proposição, que a ele não era lícito comer, nem também aos que com ele estavam, a não ser somente aos sacerdotes?

5 Ou não lestes na Lei que, nos sábados, os sacerdotes no Templo profanam o sábado, sem se tornarem culpados?

6 Eu, porém, vos digo que o maior que o Templo está aqui.

7 Mas se vós soubésseis o que significa: ‘Quero misericórdia, e não sacrifício’, não condenaríeis os inocentes.
