1 One Sabbath [a] Jesus was passing through the grainfields, and His disciples began to pick the heads of grain, rub them in their hands, and eat them. 1
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 [b] 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.”
