International Children’s Bible

Jesus Is Lord of the Sabbath

So they began to pick the grain and eat it. ² The Pharisees saw this, and they said to Jesus, “Look! Your followers are doing something that is against the Jewish law to do on the Sabbath day.”

³ Jesus answered, “Have you not read what David did when he and the people with him were hungry?
