Matthew 12:3-5

EasyEnglish Bible

³ Jesus replied, ‘You have certainly read about what David did one day. He and the men who were with him were hungry. ⁴ David went into the temple. He ate the special bread that was there. He also gave some of it to his men to eat as well. But it is against God's Law for anyone except the priests to eat that special bread.^[a]

⁵ Also, you certainly know what God's Law says about the priests. They work in the temple, even on the day of rest. They have not obeyed the Law about the day of rest. But God's Law tells us that they have not done anything that is wrong.
