Luke 6:1-5

Lord of the Sabbath

^aNow it happened that on a Sabbath He was passing through some grainfields, and His disciples ^bwere picking and eating the heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands. 2 But some of the Pharisees said, “Why do you do what ^ais not lawful on the Sabbath?” 3 And Jesus answered and said to them, “Have you never read ^awhat 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 ¹consecrated bread which ^ais 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.”
