Luke 6:1 And it came to pass on the second first sabbath that, as he went through the corn fields, his disciples plucked the ears and did eat, rubbing them in their hands.

Luke 6:2 And some of the Pharisees said to them: Why do you that which is not lawful on the sabbath days?

Study Lenses

The verse centers on "came", "pass", "second", "first", "sabbath", "went", "through", and "corn". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "came" and "pass", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.

The next verse adds "And some of the Pharisees said to...", so "came" and "pass" should be read forward into that movement. In Luke context, the local focus is Christ, faith, and discipleship.

A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "came" and "pass" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
