Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
All Commentaries on Mark 2:28 Go To Mark 2
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
De Op. Monach., 23: For it was a precept in Israel, delivered by a written law, that no one should detain athief found in his fields, unless he tried to take something away with him. Forthe man who had touched nothing else but what he had eaten they were commanded to allow to go away free and unpunished. Wherefore the Jews accused our Lord's disciples, who were plucking the ears of corn, of breaking the sabbath, rather than of theft.
