Luke 6:5
3 Jesus replied, “Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?
4 He entered the house of God, took the consecrated bread and gave it to his companions, and ate what is lawful only for the priests to eat.”
Then Jesus declared, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
6 On another Sabbath Jesus entered the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was withered.
7 Looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, the scribes and Pharisees were watching Him closely to see if He would heal on the Sabbath.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
