A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
PLUCKING CORN EARS ON THE SABBATH DAY. ( = Mar 2:23-28; Luk 6:1-5). (Mat 12:1-8)

At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn--"the cornfields" (Mar 2:23; Luk 6:1).

and his disciples were an hungered--not as one may be before his regular meals; but evidently from shortness of provisions: for Jesus defends their plucking the corn-ears and eating them on the plea of necessity.

and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat--"rubbing them in their hands" (Luk 6:1).

2 But [1161] when the Pharisees [5330] saw [1492] it, they said [2036] unto him [846], Behold [2400], thy [4675] disciples [3101] do [4160] that which [3739] is [1832] not [3756] lawful [1832] to do [4160] upon [1722] the sabbath day [4521].

5 And [2532] he said [3004] unto them [846], That [3754] the Son [5207] of man [444] is [2076] Lord [2962] also [2532] of the sabbath [4521].

25 And [2532] he [846] said [3004] unto them [846], Have ye never [3763] read [314] what [5101] David [1138] did [4160], when [3753] he had [2192] need [5532], and [2532] was an hungred [3983], he [846], and [2532] they that were with [3326] him [846]?

28 Therefore [5620] the Son [5207] of man [444] is [2076] Lord [2962] also [2532] of the sabbath [4521].
1 And [1161] it came to pass [1096] on [1722] the second [1207] sabbath [4521] after the first [1207], that he [846] went [1279] through [1223] the corn fields [4702]; and [2532] his [846] disciples [3101] plucked [5089] the ears of corn [4719], and [2532] did eat [2068], rubbing [5597] them in their hands [5495].
16 And the feast [02282] of harvest [07105], the firstfruits [01061] of thy labours [04639], which thou hast sown [02232] in the field [07704]: and the feast [02282] of ingathering [0614], which is in the end [03318] of the year [08141], when thou hast gathered [0622] in thy labours [04639] out of the field [07704].
10 And thou shalt keep [06213] the feast [02282] of weeks [07620] unto the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] with a tribute [04530] of a freewill offering [05071] of thine hand [03027], which thou shalt give [05414] unto the LORD thy God, according as the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] hath blessed [01288] thee:
15 And ye shall count [05608] unto you from the morrow [04283] after the sabbath [07676], from the day [03117] that ye brought [0935] the sheaf [06016] of the wave offering [08573]; seven [07651] sabbaths [07676] shall be [01961] complete [08549]:
16 Even unto [05704] the morrow [04283] after the seventh [07637] sabbath [07676] shall ye number [05608] fifty [02572] days [03117]; and ye shall offer [07126] a new [02319] meat offering [04503] unto the LORD [03068].

11 And he shall wave [05130] the sheaf [06016] before [06440] the LORD [03068], to be accepted [07522] for you: on the morrow [04283] after the sabbath [07676] the priest [03548] shall wave [05130] it.
15 Thou shalt keep [08104] the feast [02282] of unleavened bread [04682]: (thou shalt eat [0398] unleavened bread [04682] seven [07651] days [03117], as I commanded [06680] thee, in the time appointed [04150] of the month [02320] Abib [024]; for in it thou camest out [03318] from Egypt [04714]: and none shall appear [07200] before [06440] me empty [07387]:)

3 And [2532] Jesus [2424] answering [611] them [4314] [846] said [2036], Have ye [314] not [3761] read [314] so much as [3761] this [5124], what [3739] David [1138] did [4160], when [3698] himself [846] was an hungred [3983], and [2532] they which [3588] were [5607] with [3326] him [846];
4 How [5613] he went [1525] into [1519] the house [3624] of God [2316], and [2532] did take [2983] and [2532] eat [5315] the shewbread [740] [4286], and [2532] gave [1325] also [2532] to them that were with [3326] him [846]; which [3739] it is [1832] not [3756] lawful [1832] to eat [5315] but for [1508] the priests [2409] alone [3441]?
5 And [2532] he said [3004] unto them [846], That [3754] the Son [5207] of man [444] is [2076] Lord [2962] also [2532] of the sabbath [4521].
23 And [2532] it came to pass [1096], that he [846] went [3899] through [1223] the corn fields [4702] on [1722] the sabbath day [4521]; and [2532] his [846] disciples [3101] began [756], as they went [3598] [4160], to pluck [5089] the ears of corn [4719].
24 And [2532] the Pharisees [5330] said [3004] unto him [846], Behold [2396], why [5101] do they [4160] on [1722] the sabbath day [4521] that which [3739] is [1832] not [3756] lawful [1832]?
25 And [2532] he [846] said [3004] unto them [846], Have ye never [3763] read [314] what [5101] David [1138] did [4160], when [3753] he had [2192] need [5532], and [2532] was an hungred [3983], he [846], and [2532] they that were with [3326] him [846]?
26 How [4459] he went [1525] into [1519] the house [3624] of God [2316] in the days [1909] of Abiathar [8] the high priest [749], and [2532] did eat [5315] the shewbread [740] [4286], which [3739] is [1832] not [3756] lawful [1832] to eat [5315] but for [1508] the priests [2409], and [2532] gave [1325] also [2532] to them which were [5607] with [4862] him [846]?
27 And [2532] he said [3004] unto them [846], The sabbath [4521] was made [1096] for [1223] man [444], and not [3756] man [444] for [1223] the sabbath [4521]:
28 Therefore [5620] the Son [5207] of man [444] is [2076] Lord [2962] also [2532] of the sabbath [4521].
1 At [1722] that [1565] time [2540] Jesus [2424] went [4198] on the sabbath day [4521] through [1223] the corn [4702]; and [1161] his [846] disciples [3101] were an hungred [3983], and [2532] began [756] to pluck [5089] the ears of corn [4719], and [2532] to eat [2068].
2 But [1161] when the Pharisees [5330] saw [1492] it, they said [2036] unto him [846], Behold [2400], thy [4675] disciples [3101] do [4160] that which [3739] is [1832] not [3756] lawful [1832] to do [4160] upon [1722] the sabbath day [4521].
3 But [1161] he said [2036] unto them [846], Have ye [314] not [3756] read [314] what [5101] David [1138] did [4160], when [3753] he [846] was an hungred [3983], and [2532] they [3326] that were with him [846];
4 How [4459] he entered into [1525] [1519] the house [3624] of God [2316], and [2532] did eat [5315] the shewbread [740] [4286], which [3739] was [2258] not [3756] lawful [1832] for him [846] to eat [5315], neither for [3761] them which [3326] were with him [846], but [1508] only [3441] for the priests [2409]?
5 Or [2228] have ye [314] not [3756] read [314] in [1722] the law [3551], how that [3754] on the sabbath days [4521] the priests [2409] in [1722] the temple [2411] profane [953] the sabbath [4521], and [2532] are [1526] blameless [338]?
6 But [1161] I say [3004] unto you [5213], That [3754] in this place [5602] is one [2076] greater than [3187] the temple [2411].
7 But [1161] if [1487] ye had known [1097] what [5101] this meaneth [2076], I will have [2309] mercy [1656], and [2532] not [3756] sacrifice [2378], ye would [302] not [3756] have condemned [2613] the guiltless [338].
8 For [1063] the Son [5207] of man [444] is [2076] Lord [2962] even [2532] of the sabbath day [4521].
4 For [1063] he spake [2046] in a certain place [4225] of [4012] the seventh [1442] day on this wise [3779], And [2532] God [2316] did rest [2664] the seventh [1722] [1442] day [2250] from [575] all [3956] his [846] works [2041].
16 Let [2919] no [3361] man [5100] therefore [3767] judge [2919] you [5209] in [1722] meat [1035], or [2228] in [1722] drink [4213], or [2228] in [1722] respect [3313] of an holyday [1859], or [2228] of the new moon [3561], or [2228] of the sabbath [4521] days:
23 And it shall come to pass, that from [01767] one new moon [02320] to another [02320], and from [01767] one sabbath [07676] to another [07676], shall all flesh [01320] come [0935] to worship [07812] before [06440] me, saith [0559] the LORD [03068].
2 But [1161] when the Pharisees [5330] saw [1492] it, they said [2036] unto him [846], Behold [2400], thy [4675] disciples [3101] do [4160] that which [3739] is [1832] not [3756] lawful [1832] to do [4160] upon [1722] the sabbath day [4521].
27 And [2532] he said [3004] unto them [846], The sabbath [4521] was made [1096] for [1223] man [444], and not [3756] man [444] for [1223] the sabbath [4521]:
25 And on the seventh [07637] day [03117] ye shall have an holy [06944] convocation [04744]; ye shall do [06213] no servile [05656] work [04399].
8 But ye shall offer [07126] an offering made by fire [0801] unto the LORD [03068] seven [07651] days [03117]: in the seventh [07637] day [03117] is an holy [06944] convocation [04744]: ye shall do [06213] no servile [05656] work [04399] therein.
3 Six [08337] days [03117] shall work [04399] be done [06213]: but the seventh [07637] day [03117] is the sabbath [07676] of rest [07677], an holy [06944] convocation [04744]; ye shall do [06213] no work [04399] therein: it is the sabbath [07676] of the LORD [03068] in all your dwellings [04186].
16 And in the first [07223] day [03117] there shall be an holy [06944] convocation [04744], and in the seventh [07637] day [03117] there shall be an holy [06944] convocation [04744] to you; no manner of work [04399] shall be done [06213] in them, save [0389] that which every man [05315] must eat [0398], that only may be done [06213] of you.
9 And on the sabbath [07676] day [03117] two [08147] lambs [03532] of the first [01121] year [08141] without spot [08549], and two [08147] tenth [06241] deals of flour [05560] for a meat offering [04503], mingled [01101] with oil [08081], and the drink offering [05262] thereof:
32 And while the children [01121] of Israel [03478] were in the wilderness [04057], they found [04672] a man [0376] that gathered [07197] sticks [06086] upon the sabbath [07676] day [03117].
33 And they that found [04672] him gathering [07197] sticks [06086] brought [07126] him unto Moses [04872] and Aaron [0175], and unto all the congregation [05712].
34 And they put [03240] him in ward [04929], because it was not declared [06567] what should be done [06213] to him.
35 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], The man [0376] shall be surely [04191] put to death [04191]: all the congregation [05712] shall stone [07275] him with stones [068] without [02351] the camp [04264].
36 And all the congregation [05712] brought [03318] him without [02351] the camp [04264], and stoned [07275] him with stones [068], and he died [04191]; as the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] Moses [04872].
2 Six [08337] days [03117] shall work [04399] be done [06213], but on the seventh [07637] day [03117] there shall be to you an holy day [06944], a sabbath [07676] of rest [07677] to the LORD [03068]: whosoever doeth [06213] work [04399] therein shall be put to death [04191].
3 Ye shall kindle [01197] no fire [0784] throughout your habitations [04186] upon the sabbath [07676] day [03117].
13 Speak [01696] thou also unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], saying [0559], Verily [0389] my sabbaths [07676] ye shall keep [08104]: for it is a sign [0226] between me and you throughout your generations [01755]; that ye may know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068] that doth sanctify [06942] you.
14 Ye shall keep [08104] the sabbath [07676] therefore; for it is holy [06944] unto you: every one that defileth [02490] it shall surely [04191] be put to death [04191]: for whosoever doeth [06213] any work [04399] therein, that soul [05315] shall be cut off [03772] from among [07130] his people [05971].
15 Six [08337] days [03117] may work [04399] be done [06213]; but in the seventh [07637] is the sabbath [07676] of rest [07677], holy [06944] to the LORD [03068]: whosoever doeth [06213] any work [04399] in the sabbath [07676] day [03117], he shall surely [04191] be put to death [04191].
16 Wherefore the children [01121] of Israel [03478] shall keep [08104] the sabbath [07676], to observe [06213] the sabbath [07676] throughout their generations [01755], for a perpetual [05769] covenant [01285].
17 It is a sign [0226] between me and the children [01121] of Israel [03478] for ever [05769]: for in six [08337] days [03117] the LORD [03068] made [06213] heaven [08064] and earth [0776], and on the seventh [07637] day [03117] he rested [07673], and was refreshed [05314].
8 Remember [02142] the sabbath [07676] day [03117], to keep it holy [06942].
9 Six [08337] days [03117] shalt thou labour [05647], and do [06213] all thy work [04399]:
10 But the seventh [07637] day [03117] is the sabbath [07676] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430]: in it thou shalt not do [06213] any work [04399], thou, nor thy son [01121], nor thy daughter [01323], thy manservant [05650], nor thy maidservant [0519], nor thy cattle [0929], nor thy stranger [01616] that is within thy gates [08179]:
11 For in six [08337] days [03117] the LORD [03068] made [06213] heaven [08064] and earth [0776], the sea [03220], and all that in them is, and rested [05117] the seventh [07637] day [03117]: wherefore the LORD [03068] blessed [01288] the sabbath [07676] day [03117], and hallowed [06942] it.
13 Thou camest down [03381] also upon mount [02022] Sinai [05514], and spakest [01696] with them from heaven [08064], and gavest [05414] them right [03477] judgments [04941], and true [0571] laws [08451], good [02896] statutes [02706] and commandments [04687]:
14 And madest known [03045] unto them thy holy [06944] sabbath [07676], and commandedst [06680] them precepts [04687], statutes [02706], and laws [08451], by the hand [03027] of Moses [04872] thy servant [05650]:
23 And he said [0559] unto them, This is that which the LORD [03068] hath said [01696], To morrow [04279] is the rest [07677] of the holy [06944] sabbath [07676] unto the LORD [03068]: bake [0644] that which ye will bake [0644] to day, and seethe [01310] that ye will seethe [01310]; and that which [03605] remaineth over [05736] lay up [03240] for you to be kept [04931] until the morning [01242].
2 And on the seventh [07637] day [03117] God [0430] ended [03615] his work [04399] which he had made [06213]; and he rested [07673] on the seventh [07637] day [03117] from all his work [04399] which he had made [06213].
3 And God [0430] blessed [01288] the seventh [07637] day [03117], and sanctified [06942] it: because [03588] that in it he had rested [07673] from all his work [04399] which God [0430] created [01254] and made [06213].
1 And [1161] it came to pass [1096] on [1722] the second [1207] sabbath [4521] after the first [1207], that he [846] went [1279] through [1223] the corn fields [4702]; and [2532] his [846] disciples [3101] plucked [5089] the ears of corn [4719], and [2532] did eat [2068], rubbing [5597] them in their hands [5495].
23 And [2532] it came to pass [1096], that he [846] went [3899] through [1223] the corn fields [4702] on [1722] the sabbath day [4521]; and [2532] his [846] disciples [3101] began [756], as they went [3598] [4160], to pluck [5089] the ears of corn [4719].
10 And thou shalt keep [06213] the feast [02282] of weeks [07620] unto the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] with a tribute [04530] of a freewill offering [05071] of thine hand [03027], which thou shalt give [05414] unto the LORD thy God, according as the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] hath blessed [01288] thee:
15 And ye shall count [05608] unto you from the morrow [04283] after the sabbath [07676], from the day [03117] that ye brought [0935] the sheaf [06016] of the wave offering [08573]; seven [07651] sabbaths [07676] shall be [01961] complete [08549]:
16 Even unto [05704] the morrow [04283] after the seventh [07637] sabbath [07676] shall ye number [05608] fifty [02572] days [03117]; and ye shall offer [07126] a new [02319] meat offering [04503] unto the LORD [03068].
17 Ye shall bring out [0935] of your habitations [04186] two [08147] wave [08573] loaves [03899] of two [08147] tenth deals [06241]: they shall be of fine flour [05560]; they shall be baken [0644] with leaven [02557]; they are the firstfruits [01061] unto the LORD [03068].
7 In the first [07223] day [03117] ye shall have an holy [06944] convocation [04744]: ye shall do [06213] no servile [05656] work [04399] therein.
16 And in the first [07223] day [03117] there shall be an holy [06944] convocation [04744], and in the seventh [07637] day [03117] there shall be an holy [06944] convocation [04744] to you; no manner of work [04399] shall be done [06213] in them, save [0389] that which every man [05315] must eat [0398], that only may be done [06213] of you.
11 And he shall wave [05130] the sheaf [06016] before [06440] the LORD [03068], to be accepted [07522] for you: on the morrow [04283] after the sabbath [07676] the priest [03548] shall wave [05130] it.
10 Speak [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and say [0559] unto them, When ye be come [0935] into the land [0776] which I give [05414] unto you, and shall reap [07114] the harvest [07105] thereof, then ye shall bring [0935] a sheaf [06016] of the firstfruits [07225] of your harvest [07105] unto the priest [03548]:
