American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
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.
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.
But he said unto them, {1 Samuel 21:6.}Have ye not read what David did, when he was hungry, and they that were with him;
how he entered into the house of God, and {Some ancient authorities read they ate.}ate the showbread, which it was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them that were with him, but only for the priests?
Or have ye not read in the law, {Numbers 28:9, 10}that on the sabbath day the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are guiltless?
But I say unto you, that {Greek: a greater thing.}one greater than the temple is here.
But if ye had known what this meaneth, {Hosea 6:6}I desire mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.
For the Son of man is lord of the sabbath.
When thou comest into thy neighbor's vineyard, then thou mayest eat of grapes thy fill at thine own pleasure; but thou shalt not put any in thy vessel.
And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof: two tenth parts of an ephah shall be in one cake.
And thou shalt set them in {Or, two piles, six in a pile}two rows, six on a row, upon the pure table before Jehovah.
And on the sabbath day two he-lambs a year old without blemish, and two tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour for a meal-offering, mingled with oil, and the drink-offering thereof:
this is the burnt-offering of every sabbath, besides the continual burnt-offering, and the drinkoffering thereof.
Now this is that which thou shalt offer upon the altar: two lambs a year old day by day continually.
