6 Yet I say to you that in this place there is aOne greater than the temple.  
7 But if you had known what this means, a‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the guiltless.

Healing on the Sabbath

9 aNow when He had departed from there, He went into their synagogue.  
10 And behold, there was a man who had a withered hand. And they asked Him, saying, a“Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”—that they might accuse Him.  
11 Then He said to them, “What man is there among you who has one sheep, and if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will not lay hold of it and lift it out?

Matthew 12:8

The Son of man is Lord even of the Sabbath-day - The change of the Jewish into the Christian Sabbath, called the Lord' s day, Revelation 1:10, shows that Christ is not only the Lord, but also the truth and completion of it. For it seems to have been by an especial providence that this change has been made and acknowledged all over the Christian world.
