8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.
8 For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath."
8 For the Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath."
8 The Son of Man is no lackey to the Sabbath; he's in charge."
8 For the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath."
8 For the Son of Man is Lord, even over the Sabbath!"
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Matthew 12:8
Commentary on Matthew 12:1-8
(Read Matthew 12:1-8)
Being in the corn-fields, the disciples began to pluck the ears of corn: the law of God allowed it, Deuteronomy 5:14. No law must be understood so as to contradict its own end. And as Christ is the Lord of the sabbath, it is fit the day and the work of it should be dedicated to him.
