Luke
In a Sabbath dispute over the disciples plucking grain, Jesus cites David eating the bread of the Presence. He then concludes with the statement, “The Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath.” In Luke, this line functions as Jesus’ direct claim of authority regarding Sabbath matters (Luke 6:1–5).
1Now it happened on the second Sabbath after the first, that he was going through the grain fields, and his disciples plucked the heads of grain, and ate, rubbing them in their hands.
2But some of the Pharisees said to them, "Why do you do that which is not lawful to do on the Sabbath day?"
3Jesus, answering them, said, "Haven`t you read this, what David did, when he was hungry, he, and those who were with him;
4how he entered into the house of God, and took and ate the show bread, and gave also to those who were with him, which is not lawful to eat except for the priests alone?"
5He said to them, "The Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath."
