By healing the sick during Shabbat.

Another Answer:

Having died for all our sins as a perfect man, never sinning, He could not have broken the Law of God. Jesus explained the spirit of the Law in addition to the strict letter of it the Jews were exacerbating. Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath as He gave it to man as a reminder of the future rest promised and to recall all that He did in the Creation. He explained that the Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath. If an emergency or truly pressing need arose (not something ordinary that could wait), it was proper to address it rather than allow unnecessary suffering or worse. Yet, they judged Him:

John 7:22-24New King James Version (NKJV)

22 Moses therefore gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath. 23 If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, so that the law of Moses should not be broken, are you angry with Me because I made a man completely well on the Sabbath? 24Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment."

Matthew 12:10-12New King James Version (NKJV)

10 And behold, there was a man who had a withered hand. And they asked Him, saying, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?"-that they might accuse Him.

11 Then He said to them, "What man is there among you who has one sheep, and if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will not lay hold of it and lift it out? 12 Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep? Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath."

What motivated Jesus to break the law of the Sabbath?

Remember when the man picked up sticks on the Sabbath . He was stoned to death for trying to work on Saturday. Or what that true but parabolic story actually meant was we can't work for our salvation. Salvation is of the lord lest any man shall boast. Also reference the tower of babel, they too were trying to find a way into heaven other than Jesus. But since Jesus is the way the truth and the life, salvation into salvation, He was and is the Sabbath. He couldn't break the Sabbath because He was the fulfillment of the Sabbath. God does all the saving. We contribute nothing.AnswerThe habit of Jesus was to observe the sabbath as a day of worship in the synagogues (Luke 4:16) but His failure to comply with the minute restrictions brought conflict (Mark 2:23-28, 3:1-6, Luke 13:10-17 and John 5:1-18). He told the Pharisees " The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath. Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath."Answer There are two main reason for Jesus' attitude to the Sabbath. First, the Sabbath was instituted by God as a day of rest and was meant to be a haven of rest and peace for all Jews. However, the Jewish religious officials made up draconian rules and punishments surrounding the Sabbath. As an example it was allowed to save a sheep from falling over a cliff on the Sabbath, but not a human, as the latter was considered 'work'. As a result of these petty rules the spirit of the Sabbath was lost, and, instead of being a day to look forward to dedication to God, enjoyment and rest, it became a burden on the ordinary Jew who had to adhere to petty rules and regulations that made their lives a misery. Jesus spoke out against this situation with the intention of restoring the Sabbath to the original intention of God at Creation.Secondly the mere questioning of the Sabbath Laws placed Jesus either in an extreme blasphemous position (if he wasn'tdivine) or instead having the authority of God himself. To state that he was 'Lord even of the Sabbath' gave a clear message to the Jewish authorities that Jesus claimed to be God in human form. John, who wrote his gospel with the intention of persuading the reader of the divinity of Jesus, has Jesus 'making himself equal with God' as he calls God his own father and hence has all his authority to be Lord of the Sabbath. [John 5]Therefore Jesus broke the authorities' misunderstanding of the law of the Sabbath to speak out against their hypocrisy, but, in addition skillfully used that same situation to point to just who he is - God in human form.
