Matthew 12:3-5
Worldwide English (New Testament)
3 But Jesus said to them, `Have you not read what David did? He and his men who were with him were hungry.
4 He went into God's house. Some bread was there for God. David's men ate it. David did not have the right to eat it, nor the men who were with him. Only the priests have the right to eat it. But David took the bread and ate it. He also gave some of it to the men who were with him.
5 `Have you never read in the books of the law that the priests in the temple break the Sabbath law on the Sabbath day? They are not punished for it.
