from Luke's gospel: Then he said to them, “The Son of Man is lord of the sabbath.” Jesus is explaining to the authorities why it's okay for his disciples to be picking grain on the Sabbath. He reminds them that Moses had pulled a stunt like that once taking bread intended only for the priests in the house of God. He concludes with the statement above. I guess if the Son of Man is hungry that takes precedence over the sacred rite. Jesus is really rocking the boat now. It's easy for any of us to get sidetracked about what's important from what's really important, isn't it? and that discernment takes serious soul searching.
