1 Now it happened that on a Sabbath he went through the grain fields, and his disciples were picking and eating the heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands.
2 But some of the Pharisees said, “Why are you doing what is not permitted on the Sabbath?
3 And Jesus answered and said to them, “Have you not read this, what David did when he and those who were with him were hungry—
4 how he entered into the house of God and took the bread of the presentation, which it is not permitted to eat (except the priests alone), and ate it and gave it to those with him?”
5 And he said to them, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
6 Now it happened that on another Sabbath he entered into the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there, and his right hand was withered.
7 So the scribes and the Pharisees were watching closely to see if he would heal on the Sabbath, in order that they could find a reason to accuse him.
