Mark 2:19-28 ▼

19 And Jesus said to them, Whether are the sons of the bride-chamber able to fast while the bridegroom is with them? So long a time as they have with them the bridegroom they are not able to fast.

20 But the days will come, when the bridegroom must be taken from them, and then they will fast in that day.

21 No one putteth a piece of new cloth on an old garment: lest the new take its fullness from the old, and the rent is made worse.

22 No one puts new wine in old bottles: lest the new wine shall break the bottles, and the wine is poured out, and the bottles shall perish: but the new wine is put in new bottles.

23 And it came to pass, that He was traveling through the corn-fields on the Sabbath-day; and His disciples began to make the journey plucking the ears.

24 And the Pharisees continued to say to Him, Behold what they are doing on the Sabbath, which is not lawful.

25 And He said to them, Have ye not read what David did, when he had need, and was hungry, and those with him?

26 How he entered into the house of God, in the days of Abiathar, the high priest, and did eat the shewbread, which is not lawful to eat except for the priest, and he gave it to those being with him?

27 And He said to them, The Sabbath was made for the sake of man, and not man for the sake of the Sabbath.

28 So the Son of man is also Lord of the Sabbath.
