At that time This phrase situates the narrative within a specific period, indicating a continuation of events. The Greek word used here, "ἐν ἐκείνῳ τῷ καιρῷ" (en ekeinō tō kairō), suggests a divinely appointed time. In the biblical context, "kairos" often refers to an opportune or significant moment, emphasizing that Jesus' actions were part of God's sovereign plan. Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath His disciples were hungry and began to pick the heads of grain and eat them (1) At that time.--St. Luke (Luke 6:1) defines the time more specifically as "the second first sabbath." The question, what is meant by that term, will be discussed in the Notes on that passage. The facts of the case place it clearly between the Passover and the Feast of Pentecost, between the beginning of the barley and the end of the wheat harvest. The position which the narrative occupies in Mark 2:23, Luke 6:1, immediately after the feast in Matthew's house, differs so widely from St. Matthew's arrangement, that we are again at sea in attempting to construct a harmony, and can only regard the words "at that time" as belonging to the separate history in some other position than that in which he has placed it. Began to pluck the ears of corn.--Note St. Mark's stronger phrase, "to make a path, plucking the ears," and St. Luke's description that they ate them, "rubbing them in their hands." The act was permitted by the Law as far as the rights of property were concerned (Deuteronomy 23:25), but it was against the Pharisees' interpretation of the law of the Sabbath. To pluck the ears was to reap, to rub the husks from the grain was to thresh; and the new Teacher was therefore, they thought, tacitly sanctioning a distinct breach of the holiness of the day of rest.
