He entered the house of God, when Abiathar was high priest, and ate the bread of the Presence, which it is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and he gave some to his companions.” Then he said to them, “The sabbath was made for humankind, and not humankind for the sabbath; so the Son of Man is lord even of the sabbath.”

- For you, O God, have tested us;
you have tried us as silver is tried. - You have already been cleansed by the word that I have spoken to you.
- I have taught you the way of wisdom;
I have led you in the paths of uprightness. - Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.

- You who want to be justified by the law have cut yourselves off from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.

I give thanks and praise,
for you have given me wisdom and power,

for you have revealed to us what the king ordered.
I shall walk at liberty,
for I have sought your precepts.The Lord our God be with us, as he was with our ancestors; may he not leave us or abandon us. For so the Lord has commanded us, saying,
‘I have set you to be a light for the Gentiles,
so that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’Next verse!With image
