Luke 6:2

James Moffatt - New Testament

Some of the Pharisees said, "Why are you doing what is not allowed on the sabbath?"

See the chapter Copy

When the Pharisees noticed it, they said to him, "Look at your disciples, they are doing what is not allowed on the sabbath."

And this was why the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he did things like this on the sabbath.

The Pharisees said to him, "Look at what they are doing on the sabbath! That is not allowed."

They said to him, "The disciples of John fast frequently and offer prayers, as do the disciples of the Pharisees; but your adherents eat and drink."

"Why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? They do not wash their hands when they take their food."
