Lord of the Sabbath

Jesus invokes two principles in the observance of the Sabbath, the day of rest: God's mercy towards his creatures, and his divine authority as the Son of God and Lord of the Sabbath.

Lord of the Sabbath

The first principle is grounded on mercy and preservation of life, a response to a human need that is weightier than the Pharisee’s interpretation of the Law.

In fact, the Torah provides that to assuage immediate hunger, one is allowed to eat grapes in a neighbor’s vineyard (but not collecting them in baskets), and to pluck ears of grain from a neighbor’s field (but not to sickle) (Dt 23:25-26).

The second principle shows Jesus as someone higher than David who allowed his hungry men to eat from sanctuary bread intended only for the priests.
