Lord of the Sabbath
12 At that time Jesus passed through the cornfields on the Sabbath.(A) His disciples(B) were hungry and began to pick and eat some ears of corn. 2 When the Pharisees saw this, they said to him, ‘See, your disciples are doing what is not lawful(C) to do on the Sabbath.’
3 He said to them, ‘Haven’t you read what David did when he and those who were with him were hungry: 4 how he entered the house of God, and they ate[a] the bread of the Presence – which is not lawful for him or for those with him to eat, but only for the priests?(D) 5 Or haven’t you read in the law that on Sabbath days the priests in the temple violate the Sabbath and are innocent?(E) 6 I tell you that something greater than the temple is here.(F) 7 If you had known what this means, I desire mercy and not sacrifice,(G)[b] you would not have condemned the innocent. 8 For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.’(H)

Lord of the Sabbath
23 On(A) the Sabbath he was going through the cornfields, and his disciples(B) began to make their way, picking some ears of corn. 24 The Pharisees(C) said to him, ‘Look, why are they doing what is not lawful(D) on the Sabbath? ’
25 He said to them, ‘Have you never read what David(E) and those who were with him did when he was in need(F) and hungry(G) #– # 26 how he entered the house of God in the time of Abiathar(H) the high priest(I) and ate the bread of the Presence(J) #– #which is not lawful for anyone to eat except the priests(K) #– #and also gave some to his companions? ’ 27 Then he told them, ‘The Sabbath was made for[a] man and not man for the Sabbath.(L) 28 So then, the Son of Man(M) is Lord(N) even of the Sabbath.’(O)
