Matthew 12:8

8 For the Son of Man is lord of the sabbath."

Matthew 12:8 In-Context

6 I tell you, something greater than the temple is here.
7 But if you had known what this means, "I desire mercy and not sacrifice,' you would not have condemned the guiltless.
8 For the Son of Man is lord of the sabbath."
9 He left that place and entered their synagogue;
10 a man was there with a withered hand, and they asked him, "Is it lawful to cure on the sabbath?" so that they might accuse him.
