Matthew 12:1-4

Jesus Is Lord of the Sabbath

1At that time aJesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry, and bthey began to pluck heads of grain and to eat. 2But when the Pharisees saw it, they said to him, cLook, your disciples are doing dwhat is not lawful to do on the Sabbath.” 3He said to them, e“Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, and those who were with him: 4how he entered the house of God and ate fthe bread of the Presence, which it was not lawful for him to eat nor for those who were with him, but only for the priests?
