Mark 2:23

An Understandable Version (2005 edition)

And it happened that Jesus was walking through the grain fields on the Sabbath day and His disciples began picking off heads of grain [to eat] as they traveled along. [Note: It was an accepted custom for people in that day to be permitted to do this as they walked long the paths bordering a grain field].
