Matthew12:6
6 But I say unto you, that in this place is one greater than the temple.
The Jews had very Superstitious Conceits, concerning the Temple, and might object, But the Priests Works are done in the Temple. The Jews had a saying▪ That in the Temple there was no Sabbath. They looked upon the Temple, as Sanctifying all Actions done there. To obviate this (saith our Saviour) In this place is one (that is) I am greater than the Temple. The Temple was but a Type of me. If the Temple can sanctify so much Labour, will not my Authority, and Permission think you, excuse this little Labour of my Disciples.
