Matthew 12:1-6

1 One Shabbat during that time, Yeshua was walking through some wheat fields. His talmidim were hungry, so they began picking heads of grain and eating them.
2 On seeing this, the P'rushim said to him, "Look! Your talmidim are violating Shabbat!"
3 But he said to them, "Haven't you ever read what David did when he and those with him were hungry?
4 He entered the House of God and ate the Bread of the Presence!" -- which was prohibited, both to him and to his companions; it is permitted only to the cohanim.
5 "Or haven't you read in the Torah that on Shabbat the cohanim profane Shabbat and yet are blameless?
6 I tell you, there is in this place something greater than the Temple!
