Jesus often encountered people who thought that their views of right and wrong were better than His. When it came to what could or could not be done on the Sabbath, they clashed regularly. So, He would ask or be asked about “working” on the Sabbath. In Matthew 12, He referred to this reading in order to teach them the simplicity of the answer. In Luke 14 it came up again when He asked them if they would rescue an ox from the well on the Sabbath. If they had no problem with that which was done with the holy bread here, they should have had no problem with Jesus. What is more important to me: the will of God or the traditions in my heart?
