ગુજરાતીમાથ્થી ૧૨:૫
અથવા શું નિયમશાસ્ત્રમાં તમે એ નથી વાંચ્યું કે, વિશ્રામવારે ભક્તિસ્થાનમાં યાજકોએ વિશ્રામવારને અપવિત્ર કર્યા છતાં પણ નિર્દોષ છે?
हिन्दीमत्ती १२:५
या क्या तुम ने व्यवस्था में नहीं पढ़ा, कि याजक सब्त के दिन मन्दिर में सब्त के दिन की विधि को तोड़ने पर भी निर्दोष ठहरते हैं? (गिन. 28:9,10, यूह. 7:22,23)

In context

3But he said to them, “Haven’t you read what David did when he was hungry, and those who were with him:

4how he entered into God’s house and ate the show bread, which was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those who were with him, but only for the priests?

5Or have you not read in the law that on the Sabbath day the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath and are guiltless?

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

7But if you had known what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ you wouldn’t have condemned the guiltless.
