Grain on the Sabbath
Luke 6:1-5
1Now it happened on a Sabbath that he was going through grainfields, and his disciples were picking and eating the heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands. 2But some of the Pharisees said, “Why are you doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath?” 3And answering them, Jesus said, “Have you not even read this, what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him, 4how he entered into the house of God and, taking the bread of the presentation, ate and gave it to those with him, which it is not lawful to eat except for the priests alone?” 5And he was saying to them, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
1At that time Jesus went on the Sabbath through the grainfields; and his disciples were hungry and began to pick heads of grain and to eat. 2But the Pharisees, seeing it, said to him, “Look, your disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on a Sabbath.” 3But he said to them, “Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, and those with him, 4how he entered into the house of God and they ate the bread of the presentation, which it was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those with him, except for the priests alone? 5Or have you not read in the law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath and are innocent? 6And I tell you that something greater than the temple is here. 7And if you had known what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the innocent. 8For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
23And it happened that on the Sabbath he was going through the grainfields, and his disciples began to make their way, plucking the heads of grain. 24And the Pharisees were saying to him, “Look, why are they doing on the Sabbath what is not lawful?” 25And he says to them, “Have you never read what David did when he was in need and was hungry, he and those with him, 26how he entered into the house of God in the time of Abiathar the high priest and ate the bread of the presentation, which it is not lawful to eat except for the priests, and gave it also to those who were with him?” 27And he was saying to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath; 28so the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”
