Mark 2:23-28

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.”
