The Disciples Pluck Ears of Grain on the
Sabbath
37. Matt 12:1-8
1 At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his
disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to
eat. 2 But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy
disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day. 3 But he
said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an
hungred, and they that were with him; 4 How he entered into the house of
God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat,
neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests? 5 Or have
ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the
temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless? 6 But I say unto you,
That in this place is one greater than the temple. 7 But if ye had known
what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have
condemned the guiltless. 8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the
sabbath day.
