Luke 6:1-6

Jesus Is Lord of the Sabbath Day

1 One Sabbath day Jesus was walking through the grainfields. His disciples began to break off some heads of grain. They rubbed them in their hands and ate them.
2 Some of the Pharisees said, "It is against the Law to do this on the Sabbath. Why are you doing it?"
3 Jesus answered them, "Haven't you ever read about what David did? He and his men were hungry.
4 He entered the house of God and took the holy bread. He ate the bread that only priests were allowed to eat. David also gave some to his men."
5 Then Jesus said to them, "The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath day."
6 On another Sabbath day, Jesus went into the synagogue and was teaching. A man whose right hand was weak and twisted was there.
