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 One Sabbath, as Jesus was going through the wheat fields, his disciples were picking the heads of wheat, rubbing them in their hands, and eating them.

2 Some Pharisees said, "Why are you breaking the Sabbath law?"

3 Jesus replied, "Haven't you read what David and his companions did when they were hungry?

4 He broke the Law by going into God's house and eating the bread of the presence, which only the priests can eat. He also gave some of the bread to his companions."

5 Then he said to them, "The Human One is Lord of the Sabbath."
