Luke 6:1-5 Now it happened on a Sabbath day that Jesus was walking through some grainfields. His disciples picked off some heads of grain, rubbed them in their hands and ate the kernels. Note: It was an accepted practice for people in that day to be permitted to do this as they walked along paths bordering a grainfield.

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now it happened on a Sabbath day that Jesus was walking through some grainfields. His disciples picked off some heads of grain, rubbed them in their hands and ate [the kernels]. [Note: It was an accepted practice for people in that day to be permitted to do this as they walked along paths bordering a grainfield]. ² But certain Pharisees said, “Why are you doing what is against the law of Moses on the Sabbath day?” ³ And Jesus answered them, “Have you never read about what King David did when he and his men were hungry [I Sam. 21:6]; ⁴ how he entered the house of God [i.e., the Temple] and took some ‘Bread of Presence’ and ate it, and also gave some to his men to eat? [This practice] was not permissible according to the law of Moses, [since the bread was reserved] only for the priests.” ⁵ Then He said to them, “The Son of man is lord [i.e., has authority over] the Sabbath day.”
