In His reply Jesus turned to the Scrip

there may be just a hint in the doubt
Have We not read? that they could not
produce Scripture for their prohibition, as
He would for the liberty which He ale
lowed. The first illustration is perhaps
chosen with some reference to the par
allel between Himself, the true King now
unrecognized and hunted with His humble
followers, and the fugitive outlaw with
his band" There. could be no question
as to the facts in the precedent cited-that
David exercised liberty in eating OF
the shew bread, which the law permit
ted only the priest to eat. While not
stated, the inference is that II was the
Sabbath when David asked for the shew
bread. Edersheim tells us. in reference
to this action, that Jewish tradition
indicated his conduct on the plea that
danger to life superseded the Sabbath
law, and hence all laws connected with
it. while, to show David's zeal for the
Sabbath. the legend added that he re-
proved the priests OF Mob, who had been
baking on the Sabbath" Matthew adds
two other presidents from the Old Tesla
ment, one in reference to the priests
work on the Sabbath, and the other,
quotation from Hosea-a favorite Of the
Master's-that taught God desired mercy,
not sacrifice.
