Matt. 12:5      Matt. 12:7

Matthew 12:6

But I tell you: Here (in this place) you see what is greater than the temple.
[Jesus likens himself to God's tabernacle, see John 2:19. It was not the tabernacle itself that was holy, but God's presence in the tabernacle. If it was permissible for the servants of the sanctuary to show mercy to David's men in an emergency, and if the priests who work on the Sabbath do not violate the Sabbath commandment, then it must also be permissible for Jesus' disciples to "harvest" and "prepare" a little food along the way.]
