The Sabbath

Jesus cures a man with dropsy on a Sabbath

Jesus heals a withered hand on a Sabbath

The Sabbath:

Jesus keep on making miracles on a Sabbath, it looks like it is on purpose to emphasize the Sabbath itself and the Sabbath errors. 

Jesus cures a man with dropsy on a Sabbath:

Here Jesus makes a good point on a Sabbath,

5 Then he asked them, "If one of you has a son or an ox that falls into a well on the Sabbath day, will you not immediately pull him out?

6 And they had nothing to say.

Luke 14:1-6)

1 One Sabbath, when Jesus went to eat in the house of a prominent Pharisee, he was being carefully watched. 2There in front of him was a man suffering from dropsy. 3 Jesus asked the Pharisees and experts in the law, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?"

4 But they remained silent. So taking hold of the man, he healed him and sent him away.

5 Then he asked them, "If one of you has a son or an ox that falls into a well on the Sabbath day, will you not immediately pull him out?"

6 And they had nothing to say.

Jesus heals a withered hand on a Sabbath:

This miracle is described in three gospels, Mt.12:1-13; Mk.3:1-5; Lk. 6:6-11

And Jesus makes several good points on a Sabbath but the Pharisees didn't like them,

14 But the Pharisees went out and plotted how they might kill Jesus.

1 The event of David and the temple in vs. 3-5

2 I tell you that one greater than the temple is here

3 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice,'

4 For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath."

"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."

Matthew 12:1-13)

1 At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry and began to pick some heads of grain and eat them.

2 When the Pharisees saw this, they said to him, "Look! Your disciples are doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath."

3 He answered, "Haven't you read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?

4 He entered the house of God, and he and his companions ate the consecrated bread—which was not lawful for them to do, but only for the priests.

5 Or haven't you read in the Law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple desecrate the day and yet are innocent?

6 I tell you that one greater than the temple is here.

7 If you had known what these words mean, 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice,' you would not have condemned the innocent.

8 For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath."

9 Going on from that place, he went into their synagogue,

10 and a man with a shriveled hand was there. Looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, they asked him, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?"

11 He said to them, "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."

13 Then he said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." So he stretched it out and it was completely restored, just as sound as the other.

14 But the Pharisees went out and plotted how they might kill Jesus.
