The verses around it, from Luke 6.
1 One Sabbath Jesus was passing through the grainfields, and His disciples began to pick the heads of grain, rub them in their hands, and eat them.
2 But some of the Pharisees asked, “Why are you doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”
3 Jesus replied, “Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?
4 He entered the house of God, took the consecrated bread and gave it to his companions, and ate what is lawful only for the priests to eat.”
5 Then Jesus declared, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
6 On another Sabbath Jesus entered the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was withered.
7 Looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, the scribes and Pharisees were watching Him closely to see if He would heal on the Sabbath.
8 But Jesus knew their thoughts and said to the man with the withered hand, “Get up and stand among us.” So he got up and stood there.
