Jesus gave at least eleven different reasons for apparently breaking the Sabbath law
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| 1. Pulling ox out of ditch on the Sabbath was permitted. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
| | |
| 2. Circumcision is permitted on the Sabbath | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
God desires mercy from His people and not sacrifice. The son of man is Lord of the Sabbath.
|
|
|
|
| | |
| 3. It is lawful to do good on the Sabbath. | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| 4. The example of David eating the shewbread. | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. It was lawful to lead animals to water on the Sabbath.
|
|
|
|
| | |
| 5. Priests work on the Sabbath and are blameless. | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| 6. The ministry of the Messiah is greater than the ministry of the Temple. | |
