In Matthew 12, Jesus and his disciples travel through a field on the Sabbath, prompting criticism from the Pharisees when the disciples pluck ears of corn to eat. Jesus responds by referencing David eating the shewbread and the priests who work on the Sabbath, stating, "For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day." He emphasizes mercy over sacrifice. Moving into the synagogue, Jesus heals a man with a withered hand, again challenging the Pharisees' interpretation of the Sabbath. He argues, "How much then is a man better than a sheep?" affirming the lawfulness of doing good on the Sabbath. The Pharisees then plot against Jesus, but he withdraws, healing all who follow him. This fulfills the prophecy spoken by Isaiah, highlighting Jesus as the chosen servant of God. Through these accounts, Matthew 12 demonstrates Jesus' authority over Sabbath laws and his role as a healer and prophet. → Matthew 12:1-18 Read the whole Bible, Septuagint and KJV side by side, at sovereignlogos.com Free Bible app: sovereignlogos.com/app #matthew12 #jesusauthority #biblereading #sabbathhealing #jesusmiracles #phariseescriticism
