Contextual Overview

1One Sabbath Jesus was passing through the grainfields, and His disciples began to pick the heads of grain, rub them in their hands, and eat them. 2But some of the Pharisees asked, "Why are you doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?" 3Jesus replied, "Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?4He entered the house of God, took the consecrated bread and gave it to his companions, and ate what is lawful only for the priests to eat." 5Then Jesus declared, "The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath." 6On another Sabbath, Jesus entered the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was withered. 7Looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, the scribes and Pharisees were watching Him closely to see if He would heal on the Sabbath. 8But Jesus knew their thoughts and said to the man with the withered hand, "Get up and stand among us." So he got up and stood there. 9Then Jesus said to them, "I ask you, which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?" 10And after looking around at all of them, He said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He did so, and it was restored.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Jesus answering them, said,.... For they brought the charge against the disciples to him, being desirous to know what he would say, and that they might have something to accuse him of; and who, at once, took up the cause of his disciples, and vindicated them, by observing what David did, when he, and his men were an hungry; how that he went into the tabernacle, and took the showbread, and ate of it, and gave it to his men, who also ate of it; which, according to the law, was only allowed to priests; and by taking notice of another instance, which this evangelist does not relate; namely, how on the sabbath days the priests, by doing various servile works, profaned the sabbath day, and yet were not charged with any blame;
