Mark 2:23–28

And it came to pass again, as the Lord walked through the corn fields on the sabbath, that his disciples began to go forward and to pluck the ears of corn. 24And the Pharisees said to him: Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful? 25And he said to them: Have you never read what David did when he had need and was hungry, himself and they that were with him? 26How he went into the house of God, under Abiathar the high priest, and did eat the loaves of proposition, which was not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave to them who were with him? 27And he said to them: The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath. 28Therefore the Son of man is Lord of the sabbath also.
