Luke 6:1-5

1 ^aNow it happened that He was passing through some grainfields on a Sabbath; and His disciples ^bwere picking the heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands, and eating the grain. 2 But some of the Pharisees said, “Why do you do what ^cis not lawful on the Sabbath?” 3 And Jesus answering them said, “Have you not even read ^dwhat David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him, 4 how he entered the house of God, and took and ate the ^{▼▼ Or showbread; lit loaves of presentation}consecrated bread which ^fis not lawful for any to eat except the priests alone, and gave it to his companions?” 5 And He was saying to them, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
