Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath


At Matthew 12:8, Jesus said he was Lord of the Sabbath (see also Luke 6:5). Many scriptures record the frequent confrontations Jesus had with the religious rulers over Sabbath-keeping.

Mark 1:21-28 records Jesus casting a demon from a man on the Sabbath. Matthew 12 tells of the disciples eating the heads of grain as they went through a field (see also Mark 2:22-23, Luke 6:1-2). The Pharisees accused them of doing that which was unlawful on the Sabbath.

John 5:1-15 records the healing of the invalid at the pool of Bethesda. The entire 9th chapter of the Gospel of John is devoted to the story of a man born blind who was healed by Jesus on the Sabbath.

Matthew 12 tells of Jesus healing a man with a shriveled hand (see also Mark 3:1-6, Luke 6:6-11). When the Pharisees objected, Jesus said:

Matthew 12:11 “If any of you has a sheep and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will you not take hold of it and lift it out? 12 How much more valuable is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”

Mark 2:27 “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. 28 So the of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”
