23. And it came to pass that he went on the sabbath through the cornfields; and his disciples began to walk on, plucking the ears.
24. And the Pharisees said to him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath what is not lawful?
25. And he said to them, Have ye never read what David did when he had need and hungered, he and those with him,
26. how he entered into the house of God, in the section of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the shew-bread, which it is not lawful unless for the priests to eat, and gave even to those that were with him?
27. And he said to them, The sabbath was made on account of man, not man on account of the sabbath;
28. so that the Son of man is lord of the sabbath also.
