SHABBAT FREEDOM EXPLAINED
Mark 2:23-28
23 One Shabbat Yeshua was passing through some wheat fields; and as they went along, his talmidim began picking heads of grain.
24 The P’rushim said to him, “Look! Why are they violating Shabbat?”
25 He said to them, “Haven’t you ever read what David did when he and those with him were hungry and needed food?
26 He entered the House of God when Evyatar was cohen gadol and ate the Bread of the Presence, ”!–which is forbidden for anyone to eat but the cohanim!– “and even gave some to his companions.”
{By this Yeshua demonstrated that persons, due to an emergency or divine right, may have the privilege to perform certain deeds on Shabbat, especially to eat.}
Matt 12:5
5 “Or haven’t you read in the Torah that on Shabbat the cohanim profane Shabbat and yet are blameless?
Matt 12:6-7
6 I tell you, there is in this place something greater than the Temple! 7 If you knew what ‘I want compassion rather than animal-sacrifice’ meant, you would not condemn the innocent.
Mark 2:27-28
27 Then he said to them, “Shabbat was made for mankind, not mankind for Shabbat;
28 So the Son of Man is Lord even of Shabbat.”
{By this Yeshua upheld the validity of the Shabbat, His constant authority over it, and the practice of mercy and common sense in keeping it. However, these P'rushim had not recognized who Yeshua was.}
SHABBAT HEALING OF SHRIVELED MAN
Matt 12:9-10
9 Going on from that place, he went into their synagogue.
10 A man there had a shriveled hand. Looking for a reason to accuse him of something, they asked him, “Is healing permitted on Shabbat?” [3]
Mark 3:1-2
1 Yeshua went again into a synagogue, and a man with a shriveled hand was there.
2 Looking for a reason to accuse him of something, people watched him carefully to see if he would heal him on Shabbat.
Luke 6:6-7
6 On another Shabbat, when Yeshua had gone into the synagogue and was teaching, a man was there who had a shriveled hand. 7 The Torah-teachers and P’rushim watched Yeshua carefully to see if he would heal on Shabbat, so that they could accuse him of something.
{Yeshua taught by this that Shabbat is good for mankind, and intended for healing.}
Luke 6
8 But he knew what they were thinking and said to the man with the shriveled hand, “Come up and stand where we can see you!” He got up and stood there. 9 Then Yeshua said to them, “I ask you now: what is permitted on Shabbat? Doing good or doing evil? Saving life or destroying it?” 10 Then, after looking around at all of them, he said to the man, “Hold out your hand.” As he held it out, his hand was restored.
Matt 12
11 But he answered, “If you have a sheep that falls in a pit on Shabbat, which of you won’t take hold of it and lift it out?
12 How much more valuable is a man than a sheep! Therefore, what is permitted on Shabbat is to do good.”
Mark 3
4 Then to them he said, “What is permitted on Shabbat? Doing good or doing evil? Saving life or killing?” But they said nothing.
5 Then, looking them over and feeling both anger with them and sympathy for them at the stoniness of their hearts, he said to the man, “Hold out your hand.” As he held it out, it became restored.
Luke 6
11 But the others were filled with fury and began discussing with each other what they could do to Yeshua.
Mark 3
6 The P’rushim went out and immediately began plotting with some members of Herod’s party how to do away with him.
Matt 12
14 But the P’rushim went out and began plotting how they might do away with Yeshua.
Matt 12
15 Aware of this, he left that area.
Many people followed him; and he healed them all
16 but warned them not to make him known.
17 This was to fulfill what had been spoken through Yesha‘yahu the prophet,
18 “Here is my servant, whom I have chosen,
my beloved, with whom I am well pleased;
I will put my Spirit on him,
and he will announce justice to the Gentiles.
19 He will not fight or shout,
no one will hear his voice in the streets;
20 he will not snap off a broken reed
or snuff out a smoldering wick
until he has brought justice through to victory.
21 In him the Gentiles will put their hope.”
7 Yeshua went off with his talmidim to the lake, and great numbers followed him from the Galil.
8 When they heard what he was doing, great numbers also followed him from Y’hudah, Yerushalayim, Idumea, the territory beyond the Yarden, and the Tzor–Tzidon area.
ORDINATION OF THE TWELVE
Mark 3
7 Yeshua went off with his talmidim to the lake, and great numbers followed him from the Galil.
8 When they heard what he was doing, great numbers also followed him from Y’hudah, Yerushalayim, Idumea, the territory beyond the Yarden, and the Tzor–Tzidon area.
9 He told his talmidim to have a boat ready for him, so that he could escape the crush of the crowd if necessary,
10 for he had healed many people, and all the sick kept pressing forward to touch him.
Luke 6
18 Those who were troubled with unclean spirits were being healed;
19 and the whole crowd was trying to touch him, because power kept going out from him, healing everyone.
Mark 3
11 Whenever the unclean spirits saw him, they would fall down in front of him and scream, “You are the Son of God!”
12 But he warned them strictly not to make him known.
Mark 3
13 ¶ Then he went up into the hill country and summoned to himself those he wanted, and they came to him.
14 He appointed twelve to be with him, to be sent out to preach
15 and to have authority to expel demons:
16 Shim‘on, to whom he gave another name, “Kefa”;
17 Ya‘akov Ben–Zavdai and Yochanan, Ya‘akov’s brother!– to them he gave the name “B’nei–Regesh” (that is, “Thunderers”);
18 Andrew, Philip, Bar–Talmai, Mattityahu, T’oma, Ya‘akov Ben–Halfai, Taddai, Shim‘on the Zealot,
19 and Y’hudah from K’riot, the one who betrayed him.
Luke 6
12 It was around that time that Yeshua went out to the hill country to pray, and all night he continued in prayer to God.
13 When day came, he called his talmidim and chose from among them twelve to be known as emissaries:
14 Shim‛on, whom he named Kefa; Andrew, his brother; Ya‛akov; Yochanan; Philip; Bar-Talmai;
15 Mattityahu; T’oma; Ya‛akov Ben-Halfai;
16 Shim‛on, the one called the Zealot; Y’hudah Ben-Ya‛akov; and Y’hudah from K’riot, who turned traitor.
