Mark 2:23-28 At another time, as he was passing through corn fields, on the sabbath days, it happened that his disciples, as they passed along, began to pluck the ears.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ At another time, as he was passing through corn fields, on the sabbath days, it happened that his disciples, as they passed along, began to pluck the ears. ²⁴ Whereupon the Pharisees said to him, See! Why are they doing what is not lawful, on the sabbath days?" ²⁵ And he said to them, Did you never read what David did when he was in a strait; and he and his company were hungry? ²⁶ How he went to the house of God in the days of Abiathar, the high priest, and ate the presence loaves, which it is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and gave thereof to his attendants? ²⁷ Moreover he said to them, The sabbath was made for man, not man for the sabbath. ²⁸ So that the son of man is lord even of the sabbath.
