*
One Sabbath he was going through the grainfields ;
and as they made their way his disciples began to pluck heads of grain .
*
And the Pharisees said to him , »
Look ,
why are they doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath ?«
*
But he said to them , »
Have you never read what David did when he was in need and hungry ,
he and those who were with him :
*
how he entered the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest ,
and ate the consecrated bread ,
which is not lawful to eat ,
except for the priests ,
and also gave some to those who were with him ?«
*
And he said to them , »
The Sabbath was made for man ,
not man for the Sabbath .
*
So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath .«
