3Jesus replied, “Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?
4He entered the house of God, and he and his companions ate the consecrated bread, which was not lawful for them to eat, but only for the priests.
5Or haven’ t you read in the Law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple break the Sabbath and yet are innocent?
— Matthew 12:3-5
