1 While he was going through a field of grain on a sabbath, his disciples were picking the heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands, and eating them.

2 Some Pharisees said, “Why are you doing what is unlawful on the sabbath?”

3 Jesus said to them in reply, “Have you not read what David did when he and those [who were] with him were hungry?

4 [How] he went into the house of God, took the bread of offering, which only the priests could lawfully eat, ate of it, and shared it with his companions.”
