Matthew 12:1-8, "Jesus went through the grain fields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry and began to pick heads of grain and eat them.
"The Pharisees saw and said, 'Look! Your disciples are doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath!' Jesus answered, 'Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry? He entered the house of GOD, and ate the consecrated bread - which was not lawful for them to do but only the priests.
"Have you read in the law that on the Sabbath the priests desecrate the day and yet are innocent? I tell you that One greater than the temple is here (Jesus). If you had known what these words mean, 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice' you would not have condemned the innocent. For the Son of Man IS the LORD of the Sabbath.' "
