Jesus Is Lord of the Sabbath

6 On the [fn]second major Sabbath, Jesus was going through [fn]the grainfields, and his disciples were plucking heads of grain, rubbing off the husks in their hands, and eating them. 2 But some of the Pharisees said [fn]to them, “Why are you doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath?” 3 Jesus answered them, “Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him, 4 how he entered the house of God and took and ate the bread of the Presence, which is not lawful for anyone to eat except for the priests, and how he [fn]also gave it to those who were with him?” 5 Then he said to them, “The Son of Man is Lord [fn]even of the Sabbath.”
