Mark 2:23-28 On the Sabbath He was passing through the wheat fields, and His disciples started to make a path by pulling off the wheat heads.

Williams⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ On the Sabbath He was passing through the wheat fields, and His disciples started to make a path by pulling off the wheat heads. ²⁴ So the Pharisees were saying to Him, "Just look! Why are they doing on the Sabbath what it is against the law to do?" ²⁵ He answered them, "Have you never read what David did when he and his soldiers were in need and hungry? ²⁶ How is it that he went into the house of God, when Abiathar was high priest, and ate the sacred loaves, which it is against the law for anyone except the priests to eat, and gave part of them to his soldiers, too?" ²⁷ Then He said to them, "The Sabbath was made to serve man and not man to keep the Sabbath. ²⁸ So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath."
