Explained connections
- In the days of Abiathar
David receives the showbread from Ahimelech the priest at Nob. Mark's account of Jesus mentions Abiathar, Ahimelech's son and later high priest — a well-known puzzle usually explained as referring to the section of Scripture or the era of Abiathar.
- The Sabbath made for man
God blesses the seventh day and sets it apart at creation. Jesus says the Sabbath was made for humanity, not humanity for the Sabbath — and that he is its Lord.
