Mark 2:23-28

Revised Geneva Translation

²³ And it happened that as He went through the corn on the Sabbath day, His disciples (as they went on their way) began to pluck the ears of corn.

²⁴ And the Pharisees said to Him, “Why do they on the Sabbath day that which is not lawful?”

²⁵ And He said to them, “Have you never read what David did when he had need and was hungry; both he and those who were with him?

²⁶ “How he went into the house of God, in the days of Abiathar, the High Priest, and ate the showbread, which was not lawful to eat, but only for the priests. And how he gave also to those who were with him?”

²⁷ And He said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath.

²⁸ “So the Son of Man is Lord, even of the Sabbath.”
