Luke 6:1-5

1On a Jewish day of rest, Jesus and his disciples were walking through some fields where wheat was growing. His disciples began to pick some of the wheat. They were rubbing it between their hands and eating the seeds.

2Some of the Pharisees were walking with them. They said, ‘You should not be doing that on our day of rest. It is against God's Law.’

3Jesus replied, ‘You have certainly read about what David did one day. He and the men who were with him were hungry.

4He went into the temple. He took the special bread that was there. It is against God's Law for anyone except the priests to eat that bread. But David ate some of it. He gave some of the bread to his men to eat as well.’

5Then Jesus said to them, ‘The Son of Man has authority over the Law about the day of rest.’
