⁷ But you would not have condemned my innocent disciples if you knew the meaning of this Scripture: 'I want you to show mercy, not offer sacrifices.'

⁷ If you had known what these words mean, 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice,'[1]you would not have condemned the innocent.

⁷ But if ye had known what this meaneth, I desire mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.
