Mark 2:18-28

Now  John’s  disciples  and the Pharisees  , were fasting.  People came and asked him, “Why do John’s disciples and the Pharisees’ disciples fast, but your disciples do not fast? ” Jesus said to them, “The wedding guests cannot fast while the groom   is with them, can they? As long as they have the groom with them, they cannot fast. But the time   will come   when the groom will be taken away from them,   and then they will fast   on that day. No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. Otherwise, the new patch pulls away from the old cloth,   and a worse tear is made. And no one puts new wine   into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will burst   the skins, and the wine is lost as well as the skins. No, new wine is put into fresh wineskins.” On  the Sabbath he was going through the grainfields, and his disciples  began to make their way, picking some heads of grain. The Pharisees  said to him, “Look, why are they doing what is not lawful  on the Sabbath? ” He said to them, “Have you never read what David   and those who were with him did when he was in need   and hungry   #— # how he entered the house of God in the time of Abiathar   the high priest   and ate the bread of the Presence   #— #which is not lawful for anyone to eat except the priests   #— #and also gave some to his companions? ” Then he told them, “The Sabbath was made for   man and not man for the Sabbath.   So then, the Son of Man   is Lord   even of the Sabbath.”
