1
One Sabbath day Jesus was walking through some fields of grain. His followers picked the heads of grain, rubbed them in their hands, and ate them.
2
Some Pharisees said, "Why do you do what is not lawful on the Sabbath day?"
3
Jesus answered, "Have you not read what David did when he and those with him were hungry?
4
He went into God's house and took and ate the holy bread, which is lawful only for priests to eat. And he gave some to the people who were with him."
5
Then Jesus said to the Pharisees, "The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath day."
6
On another Sabbath day Jesus went into the synagogue and was teaching, and a man with a crippled right hand was there.
7
The teachers of the law and the Pharisees were watching closely to see if Jesus would heal on the Sabbath day so they could accuse him.
