Mark 2:23-28

Lexham English Bible LEB

23 And it happened that he was going through the grain fields on the Sabbath, and his disciples began to make [their] way [while] plucking off the heads of grain.

24 And the Pharisees began to say to him, "Behold, why are they doing what is not permitted on the Sabbath?"

25 And he said to them, "Have you never read what David did when he had need and he and those [who were] with him were hungry--

26 how 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 permitted to eat (except the priests) and also gave [it] to those who were with him?"

27 And he said to them, "The Sabbath was established for people, and not people for the Sabbath.

28 So then, the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath."

New International Version NIV

23 One Sabbath Jesus was going through the grainfields, and as his disciples walked along, they began to pick some heads of grain.

24 The Pharisees said to him, “Look, why are they doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”

25 He answered, “Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need?

26 In the days of Abiathar the high priest, he entered the house of God and ate the consecrated bread, which is lawful only for priests to eat. And he also gave some to his companions.”

27 Then he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.

28 So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”
