Mark 2:19-28

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

20But the days are coming when the bridegroom will be taken from them, and at that time they will fast.

21No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; otherwise, the patch pulls away from it, the new from the old, and the tear becomes worse.

22And no one pours new wine into old wineskins; otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the skins will be destroyed. Instead new wine is poured into new wineskins.”

23Jesus was going through the grain fields on a Sabbath, and his disciples began to pick some heads of wheat as they made their way.

24So the Pharisees said to him, “Look, why are they doing what is against the law on the Sabbath?”

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

26how he entered the house of God when Abiathar was high priest and ate the sacred bread, which is against the law for any but the priests to eat, and also gave it to his companions?”

27Then he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for people, not people for the Sabbath.

28For this reason the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath.”
