Neville Goddard on Mark 2:25-26 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Mark 2 in context

Scripture Focus

25And he said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was an hungred, he, and they that were with him?

26How he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and did eat the shewbread, which is not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave also to them which were with him?

Mark 2:25-26

Biblical Context

David, hungry and with his men, ate the showbread, showing that mercy can override ceremonial law. The verse invites us to see inner hunger as a signal that living faith transcends ritual rules.

Neville's Inner Vision

Read as Neville would, this scene is not about a historical breach but about your inner hunger and what you allow your consciousness to eat. David and his men symbolize a state of awareness pressed by need; hunger is the felt desire that moves the mind to seek nourishment beyond the ordinary structures. The shewbread is the bread of life—belief, vitality, the sense that the I AM within is always the source. Abiathar's high-priestly role stands for the outer forms and rules that supposedly govern what you may take; yet Jesus invites you to recognize a higher jurisdiction—the inner law of mercy and immediate supply. When you consent to the inner bread, you revise the entire scene: you are not bound by ritual to obtain what is already yours in consciousness. Grace operates through discernment: you practice feeding on the truth that you are beloved and provided for by God. This is wisdom: the letter serves the living reality you claim in imagination.

Practice This Now

In the next few moments, close your eyes and assume the feeling that the I AM within is supplying your needs now; revise any sense of lack by affirming, 'I AM provided for.'
