Matthew 12:3 ASV

¹  At that season Jesus went on the sabbath day through the grainfields; and his disciples were hungry and began to pluck ears and to eat.

²  But the Pharisees, when they saw it, said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which it is not lawful to do upon the sabbath.

³  But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was hungry, and they that were with him;

⁴  how he entered into the house of God, and ate the showbread, which it was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them that were with him, but only for the priests?

⁵  Or have ye not read in the law, that on the sabbath day the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are guiltless?
