Jesus Is Lord of the Sabbath
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. SCode Deu 23:25 Mt 12:1~8 Mk 2:23~28 Lk 6:1~5
2
When the Pharisees saw this, they said to him, "Look! Your disciples are doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath." SCode Exo 20:9~11 Mt 12:10 Lk 14:3 Lk 13:14 Jn 5:10 Jn 9:16 Jn 7:23

He answered, "Haven’t you read what David did when he and his companions were hungry? SCode 1Sam 21:1~6 Mt 21:16
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. SCode Exo 25:30 Lev 24:5~9
5
Or haven’t you read in the Law that the priests on Sabbath duty in the temple desecrate the Sabbath and yet are innocent? SCode Num 28:9~10 1Chr 9:32 Jn 7:22~23
6
I tell you that something greater than the temple is here. SCode Hag 2:9 Mal 3:1 Mt 12:8~14 Mt 12:41~42

8
For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath." SCode Mt 9:6
9
Going on from that place, he went into their synagogue, SCode Mk 3:1~6 Lk 6:6~11
10
and a man with a shriveled hand was there. Looking for a reason to bring charges against Jesus, they asked him, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?" SCode Mt 12:2 Lk 14:3 Lk 20:20 Lk 11:54 Jn 8:6
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? SCode Exo 23:4~5 Deu 22:4
12
How much more valuable is a person than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath." SCode Mt 6:26 Mt 10:31 Jn 5:16~17

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. SCode 1Ki 13:4
14
But the Pharisees went out and plotted how they might kill Jesus.

All the people were astonished and said, "Could this be the Son of David?" SCode Mt 9:27 Jn 7:26 Jn 4:29 Jn 7:31
24

25
Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand. SCode Mt 9:4 Mt 12:25~29
26
If Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then can his kingdom stand?
27
And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your people drive them out? So then, they will be your judges. SCode 2Ki 2:7 Act 19:13
28

34
You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. SCode Mt 3:7 Mt 7:11 Mt 15:18~19 Mt 23:33 Mt 13:52 Eph 4:29
35
A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. SCode Mt 12:34
36

40
For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. SCode Jon 1:17 Mt 17:22~23
41
The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now something greater than Jonah is here. SCode Jer 3:11 Ezk 16:51~52 Jon 1:2 Jon 3:5 Mt 12:6 Rom 2:27 Heb 11:7

Then it says, ’I will return to the house I left.’ When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order.
45
Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that person is worse than the first. That is how it will be with this wicked generation." SCode Mt 12:39 Jn 5:14 2Pet 2:20~22

46
While Jesus was still talking to the crowd, his mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to him. SCode Mt 13:55 Mk 6:3 Mk 3:31~35 Lk 8:19~21 Jn 7:3 Jn 7:5 Jn 7:10 Jn 2:12 Act 1:14 1Cor 9:5 Gal 1:19
