Matthew 12:2

_ _ But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day — The act itself was expressly permitted (Deuteronomy 23:25). But as being “servile work,” which was prohibited on the sabbath day, it was regarded as sinful.
