Matthew 12:4-14

4 How he entred into the housse of God and ate ye halowed loves which were not lawfull for him to eate nether for the which were wt him but only for ye prestes.
5 Or have ye not reed in ye lawe how that ye prestes in ye temple breake the saboth daye and yet are blamlesse?
6 But I saye vnto you: that here is one greater then ye teple.
7 Wherfore yf ye had wist what this sayinge meneth: I require mercy and not sacrifice: ye wold never have condened innocetes.
8 For ye sonne of man is lord even of ye saboth daye.
9 And he departed thence and went into their synagoge:
10 and beholde ther was a man whiche had his hande dryed vp. And they axed him sayinge: ys it lawfull to heale apon ye saboth dayes? because they myght acuse him.
11 And he sayde vnto the: whiche of you wolde it be yf he had a shepe fallen into a pitte on ye saboth daye that wolde not take him and lyft him out?
12 And how moche is a man better the a shepe? Wherfore it is lefull to do a good dede on the saboth dayes.
13 Then sayde he to ye ma: stretch forth thy had. And he stretched it forthe. And it was made whole agayne lyke vnto ye other.
14 Then ye Pharyses wet out and helde a cousell agaynst hym how they myght destroye hym.
