PLUCKING CORN EARS ON THE SABBATH DAY. ( = Mark 2:23-28; Luke 6:1-5). (Matthew 12:1-8)
At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn--"the cornfields" (Mark 2:23; Luke 6:1).
and his disciples were an hungered--not as one may be before his regular meals; but evidently from shortness of provisions: for Jesus defends their plucking the corn-ears and eating them on the plea of necessity.
and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat--"rubbing them in their hands" (Luke 6:1).
