Contextual Overview
1On a Sabbath, he passed through the grainfields. His disciples were picking heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands, and eating them. 2But some of the Pharisees said, “Why are you doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath?” 3Jesus answered them, “Haven’t you read what David and those who were with him did when he was hungry—4how he entered the house of God and took and ate the bread of the Presence, which is not lawful for any but the priests to eat? 5Then he told them, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.” 6On another Sabbath he entered the synagogue and was teaching. A man was there whose right hand was shriveled. 7The scribes and Pharisees were watching him closely, to see if he would heal on the Sabbath, so that they could find a charge against him. 8But he knew their thoughts and told the man with the shriveled hand, “Get up and stand here.” 9Then Jesus said to them, “I ask you: Is it lawful to do good on the Sabbath or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?” 10After looking around at them all, he told him, “Stretch out your hand.”

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;
