1At that time Jesus went through the corn on the sabbath: and his disciples being hungry, began to pluck the ears, and to eat.

2And the Pharisees seeing them, said to him: Behold thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days.

3But he said to them: Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, and they that were with him:

4How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the loaves of proposition, which it was not lawful for him to eat, nor for them that were with him, but for the priests only?
