1 One Sabbath Jesus was going through the cornfields, and his disciples began to pick some ears of corn, rub them in their hands and eat the grain.
2 Some of the Pharisees asked, ‘Why are you doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?’
3 Jesus answered them, ‘Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?
4 He entered the house of God, and taking the consecrated bread, he ate what is lawful only for priests to eat. And he also gave some to his companions.’
5 Then Jesus said to them, ‘The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.’
6 On another Sabbath he went into the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was shrivelled.
