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 did thejews have against how Jesus healed the blind man on the sabbath?
According to the narrative in the Gospels, the Pharisees were bothered by Jesus healing (or performing work) on the Sabbath. Current Jewish Law, however, specifies that saving lives is a higher-order command than observing the Sabbath.
Why was Jesus the quintessential Jew?
As a quintessential, or perfect and typical, Jew, Jesus would have accepted without question the Mosaic law, including the law that forbade work on the Sabbath. By failing to observe these laws, Jesus could not have been the quintessential Jew.
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.
Was Jesus accused of working on sabbath?
yes, he healed a man of the sabbath day
Why did Jesus heal the sick on the Sabbath?
Jesus was making a point to the Pharisaic Rabbis that the lives of people and the overall spirit of Divine Law was more important than the particular letter that would prevent healing on the Sabbath.Of course, Rabbinic Law is quite clear that healing on the Sabbath is a permitted abrogation of the Sabbath rest, so it is dubious that the events went down how the Bible describes them in this regard.
Why did the pharisees questioned Jesus about the sabbath?
He simply did not disagree with any of God's Commandments. He corrected the wrong interpretations of the day's religious leaders. These followed the letter of the Law and created additional restraints within it so that it became a heavy burden upon the people. Jesus showed the spiritual meaning of the Law, enlarging it to its original intent and obeyed it fully as the Lord of the Sabbath. After all, as all was created via Jesus as John 1: 1-3 clearly states, then it was He who gave the Sabbath rest to mankind in Genesis and fully understood its intended purpose.
Who accused Jesus of breaking the Sabbath laws and then plotted to kill him?
It was the Pharisees who accused Jesus of healing people on the sabbath, as they were very strict about it.
What are Jesus' attitudes to the Law in the Gospel of Mark?
While Mark deals less with Jesus' attitude to the Law than some other Gospels because it was addressed to a Roman audience, Jesus showed His respect for the Law by sending the healed leper to perform his legal requirements under the law (Mark 1:44). In Chapters 2 and 3, Jesus shows He had a more non-legalistic attitude to the Sabbath observance than the religious leaders of the day when He indicates the Sabbath is intended to be for the benefit of people rather than merely an empty ritual.
Why do you think Jesus did a number of His miracles on the Sabbath Day?
To demonstrate to all that the Pharisees' interpretations of the 'letter of the law' had made God's Sabbath a burden to mankind. The Pharisees' distorted view, they had actually turned matters upside down. "The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath," Jesus pointed out. Because of their narrow, legalistic view of the Sabbath, the seventh day of the week had become a hardship, weighted down with hundreds of rules and regulations.Jesus explained the true purpose of the day intended from its inception: God created the day to be a blessing, a time for genuine rest from normal labors rather than an unmanageable, overly restrictive burden. It was a time to be enjoyed, not endured. Further, Jesus said the Sabbath was created for all mankind, and not just for the nation of Israel.Jesus' teaching in these verses is summarized in The Anchor Bible Dictionary: "At times Jesus is interpreted to have abrogated or suspended the sabbath commandment on the basis of the controversies brought about by sabbath healings and other acts. Careful analysis of the respective passages does not seem to give credence to this interpretation." Not one jot or tittle of the Law of God would be changed. Jesus merely filled to the full both the letter and the spirit of the Law of God.
