Luke 6:1      Luke 6:3

Luke 6:2

But some of the Pharisees said, "Why are you doing what is not permitted on the Sabbath?"
[It was permitted to pick and eat both fruit and grain from someone else's field for one's own needs if one was hungry, see Deut. 23:24–25. Eating food was also not forbidden on the Sabbath. The problem was that, according to the rabbinical interpretation of the commandments in the Books of Moses, the disciples were both harvesting and threshing when they plucked ears of grain and rubbed them between their hands. This was considered work, which was not permitted on the day of rest. To be sure not to perform any work, devout Jews therefore prepared their food on Friday afternoon before the Sabbath. It is likely that Jesus' disciples followed these Jude customs, see Luke 23:56, but here they were traveling and could not prepare any food.]
