Is Jesus Claiming His Disciples as Priests in Mark 2:25-26?

As he was passing through a field of grain on the sabbath, his disciples began to make a path while picking the heads of grain. At this the Pharisees said to him, “Look, why are they doing what is unlawful on the sabbath?” He said to them, “Have you never read what David did when he was in need and he and his companions were hungry? How he went into the house of God when Abiathar was high priest and ate the bread of offering that only the priests could lawfully eat, and shared it with his companions?” Then he said to them, “The sabbath was made for man, not man for the sabbath. That is why the Son of Man is lord even of the sabbath.” (Mark 2:23-28)

No, Jesus is not claiming his disciples to priests in this passage. Jesus is drawing a comparison to when David and his companions (who were not priests) ate the food that was reserved for the priests.

Jesus was using the story to point out that there are sometimes exceptions to the rules. Jesus then states that because he is the Lord of the Sabbath he can decide to dispense his disciples from the rules.
