Matthew 12:6

_ _ But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple — or rather, according to the reading which is best supported, “something greater.” The argument stands thus: “The ordinary rules for the observance of the sabbath give way before the requirements of the temple; but there are rights here before which the temple itself must give way.” Thus indirectly, but not the less decidedly, does our Lord put in His own claims to consideration in this question — claims to be presently put in even more nakedly.
