23On the Sabbath he was going through the grainfields, and his disciples began to make their way, picking some heads of grain. 24The Pharisees said to him, "Look, why are they doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath?"
25He said to them, "Have you never read what David and those who were with him did when he was in need and hungry —
26how he entered the house of God in the time of Abiathar the high priest and ate the bread of the Presence —which is not lawful for anyone to eat except the priests —and also gave some to his companions?"
27Then he told them, "The Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath.
28So then, the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath."

23One Sabbath day as Jesus was walking through some grainfields, his disciples began breaking off heads of grain to eat. 24But the Pharisees said to Jesus, 'Look, why are they breaking the law by harvesting grain on the Sabbath?'
25Jesus said to them, 'Haven’t you ever read in the Scriptures what David did when he and his companions were hungry?
26He went into the house of God (during the days when Abiathar was high priest) and broke the law by eating the sacred loaves of bread that only the priests are allowed to eat. He also gave some to his companions.'
