Mark 2:19-28

19Jesus said to them, “The wedding guests cannot fast while the groom is with them, can they? As long as they have the groom with them, they cannot fast.

20But the time will come when the groom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast on that day.

21No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. Otherwise, the new patch pulls away from the old cloth, and a worse tear is made.

22And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and the wine is lost as well as the skins. No, new wine is put into fresh wineskins.”

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.”
