1 ^sOn a Sabbath,¹ while he was going through the grainfields, his disciples ^tplucked and ate some heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands. 2 But some of the Pharisees said, ^u“Why are you doing ^vwhat is not lawful to do on the Sabbath?” 3 And Jesus answered them, ^w“Have you not read ^xwhat 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 ^ythe bread of the Presence, ^ywhich is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and also gave it to those with him?” 5 And he said to them, ^z“The Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath.”
