Reflection
Exodus 11:10-12,14, Matthew 12:1-8

“Mercy, not sacrifice”
Jesus was not affected by their criticism. Instead, He reminded them that King David and his followers ate the loaves meant only for priests because they were hungry. For Jesus, true obedience of the Law should be motivated by the spirit of mercy, not simply following Sabbath regulations.
