KJV ² But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.

S21 ² A cette vue, les pharisiens lui dirent: «Regarde, tes disciples font ce qu'il n'est pas permis de faire pendant le sabbat.»

KJV ³ But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;

KJV ⁸ For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.

S21 ⁸ En effet, le Fils de l'homme est le Seigneur du sabbat.»
