When the Pharisee reacted that Jesus violated the rules of the Sabbath, Jesus then told them about the time of King David. David and his men ate the food of the temple even it was only required for a priest.Abiathar the priest at that time allowed them because Yahweh allowed it. Jesus then told the Pharisee that the Sabbath was made for man not man for the Sabbath.

When the pharisees accused Jesus for picking up grain what was his response?

My friend, may I paraphrase Christ's answer? " Is it wrong that a man should not feed himself on the sabbath? If your animal fell into a pit would you leave it there until after the sabbath?. Use wisdom when the sabbath comes and do away with your foolish notions". Not word perfect but I hope you get the idea?


Why didn't Jesus' disciples stand condemned for 'doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?

The Pharisees, legal nit-pickers, charged that the Sabbath had been broken. Though their specific charges are not stated it is likely that they accused the disciples of: (1) harvesting (picking the grain); (2) threshing (rubbing it in their hands); (3) winnowing (separating the grain from the chaff). Jesus answered their ridiculous complaint by reminding them of an incident in the life of David. Neither David nor his men were priests, yet God never found fault with them for doing this. Why not? The reason is that God's law was never intended to inflict hardship on His faithful people. It was not David's fault that he was in exile. A sinful nation had rejected him. The analogy is clear. The Lord Jesus was the rightful King of Israel, but the nation would not acknowledge Him as Sovereign. If He had been given His proper place, His followers would not have been reduced to eating in this way on the Sabbath or on any other day of the week. History was repeating itself. The Lord did not reprove His disciples, because they had done no wrong.


Why did Jesus dislike the pharisees?

The Pharisees disliked Christ because He called himself the Son of God, therefor making himself equal to God. He also kept breaking Pharisaic Law as He believed it did not agree with scripture. Jesus only kept the Law of Moses. For example; Jesus and His disciples broke laws by going into a field on the Sabbath and eating grain. Pharisaic Law says that they broke 4 Laws, these were working, winnowing, reaping and storing on the Sabbath. Jesus broke many Pharisaic Laws throughout scripture, mostly to show that they were not scripturally correct, and to show that He was against them.


Can Christian's work on the sabbath if so what work are they allowed to do?

Jesus was criticized for healing a man on the Sabbath. The Sabbath was meant for rest, but sometimes practical needs must be met. The point of Christianity is not to nitpick over religious regulations but to have faith and use discernment.Imagine telling a parent of very young children not to change diapers on the Sabbath!>New American Standard Bible © ---- Sabbath Questions 1 At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath, and His disciples became hungry and began to pick the heads of grain and eat. 2 But when the Pharisees saw this,they said to Him, "Look, Your disciples do what is not lawful to do on a Sabbath." 3 But He said to them, "Have you not read what David did when he became hungry, he and his companions, 4 how he entered the house of God, and they ate the consecrated bread, which was not lawful for him to eat nor for those with him, but for the priests alone? 5 "Or have you not read in the Law, that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple break the Sabbath and are innocent? 6 "But I say to you that something greater than the temple is here. 7 "But if you had known what this means, 'I DESIRE COMPASSION, AND NOT A SACRIFICE,' you would not have condemned the innocent. Lord of the Sabbath 8 "For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath."9 Departing from there, He went into their synagogue. 10 And a man was there whose hand was withered. And they questioned Jesus, asking, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?"-so that they might accuse Him. 11 And He said to them, "What man is there among you who has a sheep, and if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will he not take hold of it and lift it out? 12 "How much more valuable then is a man than a sheep! So then, it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath." 13 Then He said to the man, "Stretch out your hand!" He stretched it out, and it was restored to normal, like the other. 14 But the Pharisees went out and conspired against Him, as to how they might destroy Him.


When the Pharisees accused Jesus disciples of breaking the Sabbath by picking grain to eat Jesus referred to Old Testament examples that set the precedent for their actions name those examples?

One thought:David ate the showbread which was strictly against the Law ('loaves of presentation')(Mark 2:23-27/Matthew 12:1-5)Jewish View:Lev. 23:3: 3“‘There are six days when you may work, but the seventh day is a day of sabbath rest, a day of sacred assembly. You are not to do any work; wherever you live, it is a sabbath to the Lord.The Rabbis debated in Babylon what would constitute "work" according to that reading. Their view is that the labors required to build to Great Temple in Jerusalem would be cumulatively considered works, as spelled out Mishna Shabbat 7:2. Nearly every agricultural process was considered work. Gathering (מעמר) is one of the 39 prohibited activities.


Where in the Bible do you find the words If you had faith the size of a grain of mustard?

(Matthew 17:19-20) . . .Thereupon the disciples came up to Jesus privately and said: "Why is it we could not expel it?" He said to them: "Because of YOUR little faith. For truly I say to YOU, If YOU have faith the size of a mustard grain, YOU will say to this mountain, 'Transfer from here to there,' and it will transfer, and nothing will be impossible for YOU."


What did Jesus say His disciples could do with 'faith as a grain of mustard seed'?

Matthew 17:20 [Full Chapter]He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”


What are grain trucks used for?

Grain trucks are used in the farming industry for transporting grain and cereal products from harvesting fields to processing, packaging or storing facilities. Looking like large dump trucks, they will often have open tops for easy loading and dump capabilities for easy unloading. They are primarily meant for short distance hauling, as this open body design does not offer protection from the elements or wildlife. Grain trucks are used to transport the grain while picking the crop. The grain truck drives slowly next to the machinery that separates the grain and pours it into the grain truck to be transported it's next destination.


What happen to Jesus 40 days after his resurrection?

Jesus did not come back but stayed 40 more days after his 'resurrection'To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God [Acts 1:3]Answer:YES! "According to the scriptures"... Jesus ascended to the throne of His Father in heaven on "the day after the Sabbath" ['Sunday' by our calendar, today] that fell during the Passover, to "be accepted on your behalf" by the Father as an acceptable sacrifice for our sins.Then, He returned to be with His disciples for the forty days mentioned above.Mary came to apply the ointments to Jesus' body after the Sabbath(s) of that week [there were TWO that week; the Passover, an annual Sabbath and the weekly Sabbath - Saturday by our calendar, today]. There had been no time to purchase, prepare and apply these ointiments to Jesus' body until after the Sabbaths of that week; which made it very early on "our" Sunday [the day after the weekly Sabbath, "our" Saturday] before Mary could get to the tomb. Of this account, John tells us:"She glanced over her shoulder and saw someone standing behind her. It was Jesus, but she didn't recognize Him! ...'Mary!' Jesus said. She turned toward Him. 'Master!' she exclaimed. 'DON'T TOUCH ME,' HE CAUTIONED, 'FOR I HAVEN'T ASCENDED TO THE FATHER. But go find my brothers and tell them that I ASCEND TO MY FATHER and your Father, My God and your God.'" (John 20:14-17 LVB The Living Bible)Jesus did indeed ascend to the Father's throne in heaven, to present HIMSELF to His Father as the PERFECT SACRIFICE for our sins. It was just one more of the prophetic phases of God's plan for our salvation that Jesus would FULFILL during this first half of His earthly ministry. [And that He shall continue to fulfill for the final phases of that plan]The high priest was to "wave" before God a "cut off" sheaf of the crop from the "firstfruits" of the early spring harvest for His acceptance:"...bring the first sheaf of the harvest to the priest on THE DAY AFTER THE SABBATH [Sunday]. HE SHALL WAVE IT before the Lord in a gesture of offering, and IT WILL BE ACCEPTED BY THE LORD AS YOUR GIFT." (Lev.23:9-11 LVB)(same passage; NLT New Living Translation): "...harvest your first crops, bring the priest some grain from the FIRST PORTION of your grain harvest. On THE DAY AFTER THE SABBATH [Sunday], the priest will LIFT IT UP BEFORE THE LORD so IT MAY BE ACCEPTED ON YOUR BEHALF."Jesus Christ ascended to His Father's throne on that "Sunday" of the week that He was sacrificed for us: the FIRSTFRUITS of God's "early spring harvest":"...Christ has been raised from the dead. He has become THE FIRST OF A GREAT HARVEST of those who will be raised to Life again... But there is an order to this resurrection. CHRIST WAS RAISED FIRST; then when He comes back, all His people will be raised." (I Cor.15:20-23 NLT)(same passage; KJV): "...now is Christ risen from the dead, and become THE FIRSTFRUITS of them that slept [died]... But every man in his own order: CHRIST THE FIRSTFRUITS; afterward they that are Christ's at His coming."Jesus rose from the dead "according to the scriptures" [I Cor.15:4]... three days and three nights after His death on the Passover that week [which fell on 'our' Wednesday]. He rose from the grave three days and three nights later at the same time of day that He was buried; in the evening just before 'sundown.' That makes the day of His resurrection on that FOLLOWING WEEKLY SABBATH EVENING, just before sundown! And He was already ris-EN... not ris-ING on "the day after the Sabbath"... 'our' Sunday.And sometime in the course of that Sunday... Jesus ascended to His Father to be accepted by Him as the Perfect Sacrifice for mankind. Then He returned for the forty days with His disciples.Notice, that Mary wasn't allowed to "touch" Him at the tomb, because He had not yet ascended to His Father. But later on when He appeared to them all -- THEY ALL HANDLED HIM -- because He had returned from heaven, and had been accepted by His Father by that time.


What does bucking grain bags mean?

Bucking a grain bag is basically loading the bag. For example, bucking hay bales is the process of picking up the bale and throwing the bale onto a truck. Generally, I refer to bucking hay only when the bale is being thrown to a spot that is higher then my head.

How many time does the bible tell us ye of little faith?

"ye of little faith' is spoken four times, and spoken by Jesus; twice to his disciples and twice to all the people. But to show you how much Jesus longs for our faith, he spoke these two words - Luke 17.6. And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you. Luke 18.6.8. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
