Mark 2:23-28
Chapter 2
23
On the Sabbath
One Sabbath, he was walking through grain fields. As his disciples walked alongside him, they began picking the heads of grain and crushing them in their hands.24
Then the Pharisees said to Jesus:
“Look! They are doing what is forbidden on the Sabbath!”
25
And he said to them:
“Have you never read what David did in his time of need, when he and his men were very hungry?
26
He entered the House of God when Abiathar was High Priest and ate the bread of the offering, which only priests are allowed to eat. He also gave some to the men with him.”
27
Then Jesus said to them:
“The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. So the Son of Man is master even of the Sabbath.”
