Is Jesus the lord of the Sabbath? ~ Cross reference of Matthew 12:7 to Hosea 6:6
In Matthew 12, Jesus and his disciples are passing through a grain field and since the disciples were hungry they picked a few grain heads and ate them. Seeing this, "the Pharisees" asked Jesus why his disciples are offending the sabbath by plucking grain heads and eating them. Jesus replies with the event that happened in 1 Samuel 21 where David and his mean are hungry and near fainting and David asks Ahimelech the priest if there is any food with them. Ahimelech tells him that there are only 5 loafs of holly showbread. David takes the 5 loafs and gives it to his followers and they eat it and are revived. Lets see if what Jesus's disciples did was right or wrong and let us see if "son of man" is the lord of the sabbath. All Images are links to Google Images. Copyright violations not intended.
