Matthew 12:2-4

Worldwide English (New Testament)

² The Pharisees saw them. They said to Jesus, `Look! Your disciples are doing what is not right on the Sabbath day.'

³ But Jesus said to them, `Have you not read what David did? He and his men who were with him were hungry.

⁴ He went into God's house. Some bread was there for God. David's men ate it. David did not have the right to eat it, nor the men who were with him. Only the priests have the right to eat it. But David took the bread and ate it. He also gave some of it to the men who were with him.
