to him: Behold, why do they
on the sabbath that which is not lawful? (25)And he said to them: Did
ye never read what David did, when he had need and hungered, himself
and they who were with him; (26)how he went into the house of God, in
the days of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the show-bread, which it
is not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave also to those who
were with him? (27)And he said to them: The sabbath was made for man,

having his hand withered. (2)And they watched him, whether he would
