Mark 2:23-28 Now on one of the sabbaths it happened for Him to be progressively passing along on a path through some standing fields of grain, and His disciples started to gradually make their way, while repeatedly picking (plucking off) the heads of grain.

JMNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ Now on one of the sabbaths it happened for Him to be progressively passing along [on a path] through some standing fields of grain, and His disciples started to gradually make [their] way, while repeatedly picking (plucking off) the heads of grain. ²⁴ So the Pharisees began and kept on saying to Him, "Look (See; Observe)! What they are continuing to do is not allowed (permitted) on the sabbaths!" ²⁵ And so He then says to them, "Did you men never once read what David did when he had need and was hungry – he and those with him? ²⁶ "How he entered into the house (= the Tabernacle) of God – during the period of Abiathar, the high (chief) priest – and he ate some of the Loaves of the Presentation (or: of the Preplacement; of the advanced setting; = the Bread of the Presence; [Ex. 25:30, LXX]) which it is not allowed (permitted) to eat – except for the priests – and he also gave [some] to those being there together with him?" ²⁷ And He went on to say to them, "The sabbath came into being (was birthed) because of and for the sake of humanity (or: the human; mankind) – and not humanity (or: the human; mankind) because of and for the sake of the sabbath. ²⁸ "So then, the Son of Man is also Lord (or: the son of the Human also continuously exists being master and owner; or: = the human continues being sovereign) even (or: then) of the sabbath."
