6. But I say to you, that in this place is one greater than the temple.
6. But if the Temple service can justify labour, I am greater than the Temple, and my service and authority can justify it.
6. But if the Temple service can justifie labour, I am greater than the Temple, and my service and authority can justifie it.
7. But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.
7. If instead of ignorant preciseness for Ceremonies, you had but learnt the true meaning of God, in his preferring mercy before Sacrifice, you would not have thought that Ceremonies and externals are commanded men for their hurt, and must be observed against mercy to our selves or others: Gods commands are all for mans good; and he maketh not externals and ceremonies for a snare to hurt men. You would not have censured the guiltless as sinners had you understood this.
