There were many things that were not allowed during the Sabbath in His time. The Sabbath worship started Friday evening at sundown and ended Saturday morning as sunrise. The Sabbath continues through Saturday. During the Sabbath, you may only walk a certain amount of steps that day. And even less steps before stopping and praying and then walking again. You may not exceed the amount of steps that day. You were not allowed to heal, help, or work that day. Any violation with that law would lead to death. This is a reason that the Jews wanted to kill Jesus. (Let it be noted that the Jews never actually killed Him, it was the Romans.) He went against the Sabbath rules. He helped, He healed, and He worked nonstop. That includes the Sabbath. It really angered everyone that He did that on the Sabbath, and it angered them more that at the same time, He was saying that He was the Son of God. In the Jews minds and point-of-view, Jesus was this random man that broke the sacred rules of the Sabbath and claimed to be God's Son. In their eyes, Jesus was mocking God, when in fact He was just preaching. And He was the Son of God. Of course, few believed this until after Hid death. Once He died, they all realized that He was the Son of God.

The Pharisees accused Jesus and his disciples of eating grain in the cornfields on the Sabbath.

Jesus responded by highlighting the importance of mercy and the true purpose of the Sabbath.


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.
