Matthew 12:1-2

Context
Lord of the Sabbath

12:1 At that time Jesus went through the grain fields on a Sabbath. His 1  disciples were hungry, and they began to pick heads of wheat 2  and eat them. 12:2 But when the Pharisees 3  saw this they said to him, “Look, your disciples are doing what is against the law to do on the Sabbath.”

1 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

2 tn Or “heads of grain.” While the generic term στάχυς (stacus) can refer to the cluster of seeds at the top of grain such as barley or wheat, in the NT the term is restricted to wheat (L&N 3.40; BDAG 941 s.v. 1).

3 sn See the note on Pharisees in 3:7.
