Their journey takes the disciples through wheat fields. Because they are hungry, they reach for food that is accessible, the grains of wheat. According to the Jewish law, their action is considered forbidden labor because it is the Sabbath. The Pharisees jump at the opportunity to correct their actions. Jesus responds to their protestation in detail. Using examples, he interprets with authority the law as God intended.

How often do we lose sight of the vision when we get caught up in the details. When what we do in your name is at the expense of our brothers and sisters, we have lost sight of your vision.
