# Connecting Statement:
Jesus continues to respond to the Pharisees.
# Have you not read in the law ... but are guiltless?
Jesus uses a question to respond to the criticism of the Pharisees. Jesus is challenging them to think about the meaning of what they have read in the scriptures. AT: "And, you have read in the law of Moses ... but are guiltless"
# profane the Sabbath
"do on the Sabbath what they would do on any other day"
# are guiltless
"God will not punish them" or "God does not consider them guilty"
# I say to you
This adds emphasis to what Jesus says next.
# one greater than the temple
"someone who is more important than the temple." Jesus was referring to himself as the one greater. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-123person]])
