One Sabbath He was walking through the wheatfields when His disciples began to pluck the ears of wheat as they went.
24
So the Pharisees said to Him, "Look! why are they doing what on the Sabbath is unlawful?"
25
"Have you never read," Jesus replied, "what David did when the necessity arose and he and his men were hungry:
26
how he entered the house of God in the High-priesthood of Abiathar, and ate the Presented Loaves--which none but the priests are allowed to eat--and gave some to his men also?"
27
And Jesus said to them: "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath;
28
so that the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath."
