16 On the first day you will hold a holy convention, and on the seventh day, another holy convention. No work is to be done on these days.+ Only what every person* needs to eat, that alone may be prepared for you.

25 “If you go into your neighbor’s field of standing grain, you may pluck the ripe ears with your hand, but you should not put a sickle to your neighbor’s grain.+

12 At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. His disciples got hungry and started to pluck heads of grain and to eat.+ 2 At seeing this, the Pharisees said to him: “Look! Your disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath.”+ 3 He said to them: “Have you not read what David did when he and the men with him were hungry?+ 4 How he entered into the house of God and they ate the loaves of presentation,+ something that it was not lawful for him or those with him to eat, but for the priests only?+ 5 Or have you not read in the Law that on the Sabbaths the priests in the temple violate the Sabbath and continue guiltless?+ 6 But I tell you that something greater than the temple is here.+ 7 However, if you had understood what this means, ‘I want mercy+ and not sacrifice,’+ you would not have condemned the guiltless ones. 8 For the Son of man is Lord of the Sabbath.”+

6 Now on a sabbath he was passing through grainfields, and his disciples were plucking and eating the heads of grain,+ rubbing them with their hands.+ 2 At this some of the Pharisees said: “Why are you doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath?”+ 3 But in reply Jesus said to them: “Have you never read what David did when he and the men with him were hungry?+ 4 How he entered into the house of God and received the loaves of presentation and ate and gave some to the men with him, which it is not lawful for anyone to eat but for the priests only?”+ 5 Then he said to them: “The Son of man is Lord of the Sabbath.”+
