Luke 6:1-5 King James Version (KJV)
6 And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he went through the corn fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands.
2 And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days?
3 And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was an hungred, and they which were with him;
4 How he went into the house of God, and did take and eat the shewbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone?
5 And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
A Voice In The Wilderness Bible
Luke 6:1-5
6:1 Now it happened on the second Sabbath after the first that He went through the grainfields. And His disciples plucked the heads of grain and ate them, rubbing them in their hands.
6:2 And some of the Pharisees said to them, Why are you doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath?
6:3 But Jesus answering them said, Have you never read this, what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him:
6:4 how he went into the house of God, took and ate the showbread, and also gave some to those with him, which is not lawful for any but the priests to eat?
6:5 And He said to them, The Son of Man is also Lord of the Sabbath.
These are my thoughts, please share yours.
1 The disciples simply got the left over grain according to the Jewish law those that gathered the grain or any crop was not allowed to back over to get what was left because this way those who could not afford to grow themselves, the poor could have something to eat. When they rubbed their hands it broke the Jewish tradition, it would had seen better for the Pharisees that they simply go without eating.
2 They were not breaking they law just the traditions of the Pharisees, the Pharisees traditions were not equal with God’s law and this was their main problem because they felt their traditions were as important as the law God gave to Moses.
3 Jesus does not tell them that their traditions were not equal to God’s law He very much could have but instead goes to the scriptures, we should not try to reason with people without us relying on God’s word.
4 David is them eat the bread that was reserved for the priests they were not condemned for doing this; they ate because they had need and God allowed them to eat so that could further serve.
5 Jesus tells them that He is over the Sabbath, this was something that they did not want to hear they felt that their rules reigned over the Sabbath, they had turned a day that was for rest and worship into a day full of burdens of keeping even more laws then during the rest of the week.
