It is against the Law to do this on the Sabbath. But your disciples are doing it anyway!" ³ Jesus answered, "Haven't you read about what David did? He and his men were hungry. ⁴ So he entered the house of God. He and his men ate the holy bread. Only priests were allowed to eat it. ⁵ Haven't you read the Law? It tells how every Sabbath day the priests in the temple have to do their work on that day. But they are not considered guilty.
