Matthew 21:18An Understandable Version (2005 edition)Now in the morning, as Jesus returned to the city [of Jerusalem], He became hungry. See the chapter |
About that time Jesus was walking through a grain field on the Sabbath day. His disciples were hungry so began picking off some heads of grain to eat [the kernels]. [Note: It was an accepted practice for people in that day to be permitted to do this as they walked along paths bordering a grain field].
