# Connecting Statement:
Jesus continues to respond to the Pharisees.
# General Information:
In verse 7, Jesus quotes the prophet Hosea to rebuke the Pharisees.
# If you had known what this meant, 'I desire mercy and not sacrifice,' you would not have condemned the guiltless
Here Jesus quotes scripture. AT: "The prophet Hosea wrote this long ago: 'I desire mercy and not sacrifice.' If you had understood what this meant, you would not have condemned the guiltless" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
# I desire mercy and not sacrifice
In the law of Moses, God did command the Israelites to offer sacrifices. This means God considers mercy more important than the sacrifices.
# I desire
The pronoun "I" refers to God.
# the guiltless
This can be translated as an adjective. AT: "those who are not guilty" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-nominaladj]])
# Son of Man
Jesus is referring to himself. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-123person]])
# is Lord of the Sabbath
"rules over the Sabbath" or "makes the laws about what people can do on the Sabbath"
