Mark 2:25-28 Common English Bible (CEB)

25. He said to them, "Haven’t you ever read what David did when he was in need, when he and those with him were hungry?

26. During the time when Abiathar was high priest, David went into God’s house and ate the bread of the presence, which only the priests were allowed to eat. He also gave bread to those who were with him."

27. Then he said, "The Sabbath was created for humans; humans weren’t created for the Sabbath.

28. This is why the Human One is Lord even over the Sabbath."
