²³ One Sabbath day he was walking through a field of ripe grain. ²⁴ As his disciples made a path, they pulled off heads of grain. The Pharisees told on them to Jesus: "Look, your disciples are breaking Sabbath rules!" ²⁵ Jesus said, "Really? Haven't you ever read what David did when he was hungry, along with those who were with him? ²⁶ How he entered the sanctuary and ate fresh bread off the altar, with the Chief Priest Abiathar right there watching--holy bread that no one but priests were allowed to eat--and handed it out to his companions?" ²⁷ Then Jesus said, "The Sabbath was made to serve us; we weren't made to serve the Sabbath. ²⁸ The Son of Man is no lackey to the Sabbath. He's in charge!"
