Isaiah 5:8-10

Woes and Judgments

Woe to you who add house to house

    and join field to field

till no space is left

    and you live alone in the land.

The Lord Almighty has declared in my hearing:

“Surely the great houses will become desolate,

    the fine mansions left without occupants.

A ten-acre vineyard will produce only a bath of wine;

    a homer of seed will yield only an ephah of grain.”

    

Mark 2:23-28

Jesus Is Lord of the Sabbath

One Sabbath Jesus was going through the grainfields, and as his disciples walked along, they began to pick some heads of grain. The Pharisees said to him, “Look, why are they doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”

He answered, “Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need? In the days of Abiathar the high priest, he entered the house of God and ate the consecrated bread, which is lawful only for priests to eat. And he also gave some to his companions.”

Then he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”
