Lord of the Sabbath
1 On a Sabbath, he passed through the grainfields. 6:1–5 Mt 12:1–8; Mk 2:23–28 His disciples were picking heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands, and eating them. 2 But some of the Pharisees said, "Why are you doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath? " 6:2 Mt 19:3; Lk 14:3; 20:22
3 Jesus answered them, "Haven’t you read what David and those who were with him did when he was hungry — 4 how he entered the house of God and took and ate the bread of the Presence, which is not lawful for any but the priests to eat? 6:4 Ex 25:30; Lv 24:5–9He even gave some to those who were with him." 6:4 1Sm 21:65 Then he told them, "The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath."
