Sabbath Controversies: Grain, Healing, and Plot Against Jesus

Mark 2:23-3:6
23And it came to pass that he was passing through the grainfields on the Sabbaths, and his disciples began to make a path, plucking the heads of grain. 24And the Pharisees said to him, "Look! What they are doing on the Sabbaths, which is not permitted." 25And he says to them, Have you never read what David did when he had need and was hungry, he and those who were with him? 26How he entered the house of God in the time of Abiathar the high priest and ate the bread of the Presence, which it is not permitted to eat except for the priests, and he gave it also to those who were with him? 27And he said to them, The Sabbath came into being for the sake of the human, and not the human for the sake of the Sabbath. 28Therefore the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath.
Chapter 3
1And he entered again into a synagogue, and a man was there who had a withered hand. 2And they watched him to see whether he would heal him on the Sabbaths, so that they might accuse him. 3And he says to the man who had the withered hand, Stand up in the middle. 4And he says to them, Is it permitted on the Sabbaths to do good or to do harm, to save life or to kill? But they were silent. 5And looking around at them with anger, grieved at the hardness of their heart, he says to the man, Stretch out your hand. And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored. 6And the Pharisees went out at once and with the Herodians began to plot against him how they might destroy him.
