Contextual Overview
1One Sabbath while Jesus was passing through fields of standing grain, it happened that His disciples were picking the heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands, and eating them. 2But some of the Pharisees said, "Why are you doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?" 3Jesus replied to them, "Have you not even read [in the Scriptures] what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him— 4how he went into the house of God, and took and ate the consecrated bread, which is not lawful [for anyone] to eat except the priests alone, and [how he also] gave it to the men who were with him?" 5Jesus was saying to them, "The Son of Man (the Messiah) is Lord [even] of the Sabbath." 6On another Sabbath He went into the synagogue and taught, and a man was present whose right hand was withered. 7The scribes and the Pharisees were watching Him closely [with malicious intent], to see if He would [actually] heal [someone] on the Sabbath, so that they might find a reason to accuse Him. 8But He was aware of their thoughts, and He said to the man with the withered hand, "Get up and come forward." So he got up and stood there. 9Then Jesus said to them, "I ask you directly: Is it lawful to do good on the Sabbath or to do evil, to save a life or to destroy it?" 10After looking around at them all, He said to the man, "Stretch out your hand!" And he did, and his hand was [fully] restored.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And certain of the Pharisees said unto them,.... Unto the disciples. The Evangelists Matthew and Mark say, that they said this to Jesus: no doubt but they said it to both, first to one, and then to the other; probably last of all to Christ, who returned an answer to it:
why do ye that which is not lawful on the sabbath day? as to pluck ears of corn, and rub them, and eat them; :-
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
