23 And G2532 it came to pass, G1096 that he G846 went G3899 through G1223 the corn fields G4702 on G1722 the sabbath day; G4521 and G2532 his G846 disciples G3101 began, G756 as they went, G3598 G4160 to pluck G5089 the ears of corn. G4719
24 And G2532 the Pharisees G5330 said G3004 unto him, G846 Behold, G2396 why G5101 do they G4160 on G1722 the sabbath day G4521 that which G3739 is G1832 not G3756 lawful? G1832
25 And G2532 he G846 said G3004 unto them, G846 Have ye never G3763 read G314 what G5101 David G1138 did, G4160 when G3753 he had G2192 need, G5532 and G2532 was an hungred, G3983 he, G846 and G2532 they that were with G3326 him? G846
26 How G4459 he went G1525 into G1519 the house G3624 of God G2316 in the days G1909 of Abiathar G8 the high priest, G749 and G2532 did eat G5315 the shewbread, G740 G4286 which G3739 is G1832 not G3756 lawful G1832 to eat G5315 but for G1508 the priests, G2409 and G2532 gave G1325 also G2532 to them which were G5607 with G4862 him? G846
27 And G2532 he said G3004 unto them, G846 The sabbath G4521 was made G1096 for G1223 man, G444 and not G3756 man G444 for G1223 the sabbath: G4521
28 Therefore G5620 the Son G5207 of man G444 is G2076 Lord G2962 also G2532 of the sabbath. G4521
