Following are a number of back-translations of Matthew 12:8:

• Uma: “For I am the Child of Mankind who was sent by God. I have power/authority to say what may/can be done on the day of worship. ‘In the Holy Book, God says like this: ‘I do not request livestock that you offer to me. What I request, [is that] you love others.’ So, if you had known the meaning of those words, you would not have criticized those who are not wrong.'” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
