Holy Gospel, prayer of January 16st

Today's Gospel
From the Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Mark 2,23-28.
On Saturday, Jesus passed through the wheat fields, and the disciples, walking, began to tear the ears.
The Pharisees said to him, "See, why do they do what is not permitted on a Sabbath?"
But he said to them, "Have you never read what David did when he was in need and hungry, he and his companions?
How did he enter the house of God, under the high priest Abiathar, and ate the loaves of the offering, which only the priests are allowed to eat, and he also gave to his companions? ».
And he said to them: "The Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath!
Therefore the Son of man is also lord of the Sabbath ».
