Mar 2:28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.

Mat 12:6 But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple.

Mat 12:41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
