Matthew 12:5
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Or haven’t you read in the Law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple break the Sabbath and yet are innocent?
In context
3 Jesus replied, “Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?
4 He entered the house of God, and he and his companions ate the consecrated bread, which was not lawful for them to eat, but only for the priests.
5 Or haven’t you read in the Law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple break the Sabbath and yet are innocent?
6 But I tell you that something greater than the temple is here.
7 If only you had known the meaning of ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the innocent.
