2 And some of the Pharisees said to them, What do ye that, that is not leaveful in the sabbaths?

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)

2 And some of the Pharisees said to them, What do ye that, that is not leaveful in the sabbaths?

3 And Jesus answered, and said to them [And Jesus answering said to them], Have ye not read, what David did, when he hungered, and they that were with him;

4 how he entered into the house of God, and took loaves of proposition, and ate, and gave to them that were with him; which loaves it was not leaveful to eat, but only to priests [+which it was not leaveful to eat, but to priests alone].

5 And he said to them, For man's Son is Lord, yea, of the sabbath.
