Translation for Translators T4T

Jesus wanted to show them that the record in the Scriptures indicated that God permitted people to disobey certain religious laws when they needed food.

You have read about that, but ◄you do not think about what it implies./why do you not think about what it implies?► [RHQ]

Plain English Version PEV

Jesus said to them, “Remember the story about David and his men. You know, it was when Abiathar was the big boss of the Jewish ceremonies. David and his men were really hungry, and they didn’t have any food. So David went into God’s ceremony place and got the special bread. Only the men that look after the Jewish ceremonies can eat that bread. But David and his men ate that special bread, and so they broke our Jewish law, but God didn’t punish them.”

Context — The Lord of the Sabbath

23One Sabbath Jesus was passing through the grainfields, and His disciples began to pick the heads of grain as they walked along. 24So the Pharisees said to Him, “Look, why are they doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”

25Jesus replied, “Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need?

26During the high priesthood of Abiathar, he entered the house of God and ate the consecrated bread, which was lawful only for the priests. And he gave some to his companions as well.” 27Then Jesus declared, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.

1	1 Samuel 21:3–6	Now then, what do you have on hand? Give me five loaves of bread, or whatever can be found.” “There is no common bread on hand,” the priest replied, “but there is some consecrated bread—provided that the young men have kept themselves from women.” David answered, “Women have indeed been kept from us, as is usual when I set out. And the equipment of the young men is holy, as it is even on common missions, and all the more at this time.” So the priest gave him the consecrated bread, since there was no bread there but the Bread of the Presence, which had been removed from before the LORD and replaced with hot bread on the day it was taken away.

Mark 2:25 Summary

In this verse, Jesus is responding to the Pharisees' question about why His disciples are picking grain on the Sabbath. He reminds them of a time when David and his friends were hungry and did something that wasn't normally allowed, as seen in 1 Samuel 21:6. Jesus is teaching that the Sabbath is a day of rest and refreshment, not just a set of rules to follow (as seen in Exodus 20:8-11 and Deuteronomy 5:12-15). He wants us to understand that people's needs are more important than strict rules, and that we should use our freedom in Christ to love and serve others.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Jesus trying to say by referencing David in this verse?

Jesus is pointing out that even David, a man after God's own heart, did things that were not typically allowed when he was in a time of need, as seen in 1 Samuel 21:6, and Jesus is using this example to teach about the Sabbath and its purpose.

Is Jesus saying that the Sabbath is not important?

No, Jesus is not saying that the Sabbath is not important, but rather that it was made for the benefit of humanity, as He will explain further in Mark 2:27, and as it is written in Exodus 20:8-11 and Deuteronomy 5:12-15.

What can we learn from Jesus' response to the Pharisees in this verse?

We can learn that Jesus values compassion and meeting human needs over strict adherence to rules and traditions, as also seen in Matthew 12:7 and Hosea 6:6.

How does this verse relate to the rest of the Bible's teaching on the Sabbath?

This verse is part of a larger discussion in the Bible about the Sabbath, including its institution in Genesis 2:3, its commandment in Exodus 20:8-11, and its fulfillment in Christ, as seen in Colossians 2:16-17 and Hebrews 4:9-11.

Reflection Questions

What are some ways that I prioritize rules and traditions over people's needs, and how can I change this?
How can I apply Jesus' teaching about the Sabbath to my own life and schedule?
What are some times when I have been like the Pharisees, focusing on the letter of the law rather than its spirit, and what can I learn from these experiences?
How can I use my freedom in Christ to serve and love others, rather than just following rules and traditions?

Trapp's Commentary on Mark 2:25

25 And he said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was an hungred, he, and they that were with him? Ver. 25. Have ye never read?] Satis salse, q.d. Ignoratis adhuc, quod adeo notum et tritum. Miter ego vestram vel inscitiam, vel ignaviam. It is a shame for you, that you are yet so stupid or so stubborn.

Ellicott's Commentary on Mark 2:25

Cambridge Bible on Mark 2:25

25. Have ye never read] Rather, Did ye never read? With a gentle irony He adopts one of the favourite formulas of their own Rabbis, and inquires if they had never read what David their favourite hero had done when flying from Saul. He came to the high priest at Nob, and entered the Tabernacle, and ate of the hallowed bread (1 Samuel 21:1-9), of the “twelve cakes of fine flour” which no stranger might eat (Exodus 29:33).
