For I desire mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.

But the Pharisees, when they saw it, said to him, “Behold, your disciples do what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath.”

and they begged him that they might just touch the fringe of his garment. As many as touched it were made whole.

Pharisees came to him, testing him, and saying, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?”

Jesus answered them, “I also will ask you one question, which if you tell me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things.

One of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, testing him.

The Pharisees said to him, “Behold, why do they do that which is not lawful on the Sabbath day?”

Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”

They began to accuse him, saying, “We found this man perverting the nation, forbidding paying taxes to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ, a king.”
