The Sabbath Problem (6:1-11)


In verses 1-11 of the sixth chapter of the Gospel of Luke, the Pharisees accuse Christ of why his disciples, instead of keeping the Sabbath holy and not working, pluck ears of corn, rub them in their palms, and eat them. Christ not only answers their question, but also heals a man with a withered hand on the Sabbath.
What was forbidden and what was permitted on the Sabbath? Why did Christ give the example of David and who had the right to eat the Bread of Presence? What is classical Pharisaism and is not helping the needy a sin?
