Notes

Luke 6:1

His disciples began to pick the heads of grain: The law allowed this kind of grazing while walking through someone else’s field (Deuteronomy 23:24–25).

Luke 6:1–11

The conflicts between Jesus and the religious leaders continued with two disagreements about the Sabbath. The law of Moses required the Jews to rest on the Sabbath (Exodus 20:8–11; Deuteronomy 5:13–14). But the Pharisees had forgotten that the real reason for the Sabbath was to benefit human beings.
