12 At that time, Yeshua was going through some fields of grain on a rest day, and his apprentices were hungry and began to pluck some heads of grain and crunch them.[ref] 2 But some people from the Pharisees’ party saw them and said, “Look, your apprentices are harvesting on a rest day, when it’s not permitted.”

3 “Haven’t you read about what David did when he and his fighters were hungry?” Yeshua responded.[ref] 4 He went into God’s tent and they ate the Bread of the Presence, which none of them were allowed to eat—only the priests.[ref] 5 Or haven’t you understood that when the priests work in the temple on the rest day, it’s against the law, and yet they’re innocent?[ref] 6 But I’m telling you that someone greater than the temple is here. 7 But you Pharisees should have known that what I want is mercy rather than sacrifices—you shouldn’t have convicted the innocent,[ref] 8 because the son of humanity is the master over the rest day.
