Luke 6:2 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 6:2

And certain of the Pharisees said unto them
Unto the disciples. The Evangelists Matthew and Mark say, that they said this to Jesus: no doubt but they said it to both, first to one, and then to the other; probably last of all to Christ, who returned an answer to it:

why do ye that which is not lawful on the sabbath day?
as to pluck ears of corn, and rub them, and eat them; (See Gill on Matthew 12:2)

Luke 6:2 In-Context

1 Now it came about that on the Sabbath he was going through the fields of grain, and his disciples took the heads of the grain for food, crushing them in their hands.

2 But some of the Pharisees said, Why do you do what it is not right to do on the Sabbath?

3 And Jesus said, Have you not seen in the Writings what David did when he was in need of food, he, and those who were with him;

4 How he went into the house of God and took for food the holy bread, which only the priests may take, and gave it to those who were with him?

5 And he said, The Son of man is lord even of the Sabbath.
