*
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 ?"
*
And he said to them , "
Have you never read what David did ,
when he was in need and was hungry ,
he and those who were with him :
*
how he entered the house of God ,
when Abi '
athar was high priest ,
and ate the bread of the Presence ,
which it is not lawful for any but the priests to eat ,
and also gave it 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 ."
