At that time Jesus went on the sabbath through the grain-fields; and His disciples were hungry, and began to pluck heads of grain, and to eat. But the Pharisees, seeing it, said to Him, "Behold, Thy disciples are doing that which it is not lawful to do on a sabbath." But He said to them, "Did ye not read what David did, when he was hungry, and those with him? read more.
how he entered into the house of God, and ate the showbread, which it was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those with him, but only for the priests? Or did ye not read in the law that, on the sabbath, the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are guiltless? But I say to you, a greater than the temple is here. And, if ye had known what this means, 'I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,' ye would not have condemned the guiltless; for the Son of Man is Lord of the sabbath."

And it came to pass that He was going on the sabbath through the grainfields; and His disciples began to make a way, plucking the heads of grain. And the Pharisees said to them, "Behold, why are they doing on the sabbath that which is not lawful?"

How he entered into the house of God during the high priesthood of Abiathar, and ate the show-bread, which it is not lawful to eat except for the priests, and gave also to those who were with him?" And He said to them, "The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath; so that the Son of Man is Lord even of the sabbath."

And it came to pass on a sabbath, that He was going through grainfields; and His disciples were plucking and eating the heads of grain, rubbing them with their hands. But some of the Pharisees said, "Why are ye doing that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath?" And Jesus, answering, said to them, "Did ye never read this that David did, when he was hungry, and those with him; read more.
how he entered into the house of God, and taking the showbread, ate, and gave to those with him; which it is not lawful to eat, except for the priests only?" And He said to them, "The Son of Man is Lord of the sabbath."
