Lord of the Sabbath
23 On(A) the Sabbath He was going through the grainfields, and His disciples(B) began to make their way picking some heads of grain. 24 The Pharisees(C) said to Him, “Look, why are they doing what is not lawful(D) on the Sabbath?”

Plucking Grain on the Sabbath
23 And it happened that he was going through the grain fields on the Sabbath, and his disciples began to make their way while[a] plucking off the heads of grain. 24 And the Pharisees began to say[b] to him, “Behold, why are they doing what is not permitted on the Sabbath?” 25 And he said to them, “Have you never read what David did when he had need and he and those who were with him were hungry— 26 how he entered into the house of God in the time of Abiathar the high priest and ate the bread of the presentation, which it is not permitted to eat (except the priests) and also gave it[c] to those who were with him?” 27 And he said to them, “The Sabbath was established for people, and not people for the Sabbath. 28 So then, the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath.”
