Matthew 12:1
One will notice that the King James Version says the disciples were picking corn on this occasion. However, many modern translations say it was grain. The fact is that the Greek word here could apply to either corn or wheat. Indeed, you may think of Jesus words in John 12:24, where he refers to a ‘corn of wheat.’ Added to this is the fact that Luke mentions the disciples rubbing it in their hands, which would not be necessary with corn. Thus, these modern translations are simply seeking to be more accurate concerning the type of food that it was. Either way, whether we take it to be corn or wheat, the passage reads the same, and the words of the Jewish leaders and Christ apply in the same way.
