Matthew chapter 12

^12:1In that time, Jesus journeyed on the sabbaths by means of the sown-fields, but his learning-disciples hungered and they began to pluck ears (of grain) and to eat. ^.2But the Pharisees having seen said to him, "Look!, your learning-disciples do that-which is not permitted to do in a sabbath."

During that period or season of time (perhaps during the week of the special Sunday sabbath of the day of Pentecost in 27 A.D.), Jesus passed on the following weekly sabbath from one place to another through the fields which had been sown with grain and still had some ripe stalks in them. His learning-disciples (students) were hungry and they started to pluck ears of grain (the heads of the stalks, usually wheat at that time of year in May/June, or some barley that had not been harvested) and to eat them.

But when the Pharisees saw what was going on, they said to Jesus, "Look (behold, see, pay attention)!, your learning-disciples are doing what is not permitted to do (not available or possible to be done) during a sabbath."
