From 2nd Passover Until 3rd--Section 38
Section 38
JESUS DEFENDS DISCIPLES WHO PLUCK GRAIN ON THE SABBATH.
(Probably while on the way from Jerusalem to Galilee.)
MATT. 12:1-8
MARK 2:23-28
LUKE 6: 1-5
Jesus and his disciples are walking through grain fields on the sabbath. His disciples are gleaning from the grain, and some of the Pharisees ask Jesus why they are not keeping the Sabbath.
A few comments from others:
Jesus reminded them of the words in Hos_6:6, I desire mercy, not sacrifice, that is, inner spiritual vitality, not mere external formality. -BKC
Passages that show David's understanding of this dynamic:
For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering. Psalm 51:16
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. Psalm 51:17

The expression "Son of man" is used eighty-eight times in the New Testament, and always means the Messiah, and not man generally.... In asserting his Lordship over it, Jesus takes the question outside the range of argument and brings it within the range of authority. -FG
