Gospel
text (Mark 2,23-28): One
sabbath Jesus was walking through grainfields. As his disciples walked along
with him, they began to pick the heads of grain and crush them in their hands.
Then the Pharisees said to Jesus, «Look! they are doing what is forbidden on
the sabbath!». And He said to them, «Have you never read what David did in his
time of need, when he and his men were very hungry? He went into the house of
God when Abiathar was High Priest and ate the bread of offering, which only the
priests are allowed to eat, and he also gave some to the men who were with
him». Then Jesus said to them, «The sabbath was made for man, not man for the
sabbath. So the Son of Man is master even of the sabbath».
