Mark 2:23-28

231And it happened that He was passing through the grainfields on the Sabbath, and His disciples began to make their way along while 2picking the heads of grain.

24The Pharisees were saying to Him, “Look, 3why are they doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath?”

25And He said to them, “Have you never read what David did when he was in need and he and his companions became hungry;

26how he entered the house of God in the time of 4Abiathar the high priest, and ate the 5consecrated bread, which 6is not lawful for anyone to eat except the priests, and he also gave it to those who were with him?”

27Jesus said to them, “7The Sabbath 8was made 9for man, and 10not man 11for the Sabbath.

28So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”
