Jesus Is Lord of the Sabbath
1 At that time aJesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. And His disciples were hungry, and began to bpluck heads of grain and to eat.
2 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to Him, “Look, Your disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath!”
3 But He said to them, “Have you not read awhat David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him:
4 how he entered the house of God and ate athe showbread which was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those who were with him, bbut only for the priests?
5 Or have you not read in the alaw that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple1 profane the Sabbath, and are blameless?
