Luke 6:1-5

Jesus Is Lord of the Sabbath

a On a Sabbath
Some manuscripts  On the second first Sabbath (that is, on the second Sabbath after the first)
while he was going through the grainfields, his disciples c plucked and ate some heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands.
But some of the Pharisees said d Why are you doing e what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath?” And Jesus answered them, f “Have you not read g what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him: how he entered the house of God and took and ate h the bread of the Presence i which is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and also gave it to those with him?” And he said to them, j “The Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath.”
