In context
1One Sabbath he was going through the grainfields, and his disciples were picking heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands and eating them. 2Some of the Pharisees said, “Why are you doing what is not permitted on the Sabbath?” 3Jesus answered them, “Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry? 4He went into the house of God, took the bread of the Presence, ate it and gave it to his companions — bread that no one is permitted to eat except the priests.”
