2 But some of the Pharisees asked, “Why are you doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”

3 Jesus replied, “Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?

4 He entered the house of God, took the consecrated bread and gave it to his companions, and ate what is lawful only for the priests to eat.”

5 Then Jesus declared, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
