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 Now on the second-first Sabbath while He was passing through the wheatfields, His disciples were plucking the ears and rubbing them with their hands to eat the grain.

2 And some of the Pharisees asked, "Why are you doing what the Law forbids on the Sabbath?"

3 "Have you never read so much as this," answered Jesus--"what David did when he and his followers were hungry;

4 how he entered the house of God and took and ate the Presented Loaves and gave some to his followers--loaves which none but the Priests are allowed to eat?"

5 "The Son of Man," He added, "is Lord of the Sabbath also."
