Lord of the Sabbath

12 At that time Jesus went through the grain fields on a Sabbath. His[a] disciples were hungry, and they began to pick heads of wheat[b] and eat them. 2 But when the Pharisees[c] saw this they said to him, “Look, your disciples are doing what is against the law to do on the Sabbath.”

Footnotes

  1. Matthew 12:1 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
  2. Matthew 12:1 tn Or “heads of grain.” While the generic term στάχυς (stachus) can refer to the cluster of seeds at the top of grain such as barley or wheat, in the NT the term is restricted to wheat (L&N 3.40; BDAG 941 s.v. 1). KJV “corn” is the result of British English, in which “corn” refers to the main cereal crop of a district, wheat in England and oats in Scotland (British English uses “maize” to refer to American corn).
  3. Matthew 12:2 sn See the note on Pharisees in 3:7.
