Luke 6:4 In-Context

2 Some Pharisees said, "Why are you doing that, breaking a Sabbath rule?"

3 But Jesus stood up for them. "Have you never read what David and those with him did when they were hungry?

4 How he entered the sanctuary and ate fresh bread off the altar, bread that no one but priests were allowed to eat? He also handed it out to his companions."

5 Then he said, "The Son of Man is no slave to the Sabbath; he's in charge."

6 On another Sabbath he went to the meeting place and taught. There was a man there with a crippled right hand.
