1 About that time, Jesus was walking through the grain fields on a Sabbath day. His disciples were hungry. They began to pick some of the grain and to eat it.

2 The Pharisees saw them. They said to Jesus, Look! Your disciples are doing what is not right on the Sabbath day.

3 But Jesus said to them, Have you not read what David did? He and his men who were with him were hungry.
