Matthew 12:6

6 But I tell you that something greater than the temple is here.

Matthew 12:6 In-Context

4 He went into God's house and broke the law by eating the bread of the presence, which only the priests were allowed to eat.
5 Or haven't you read in the Law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple treat the Sabbath as any other day and are still innocent?
6 But I tell you that something greater than the temple is here.
7 If you had known what this means, I want mercy and not sacrifice, you wouldn't have condemned the innocent.
8 The Human One is Lord of the Sabbath."
