Notes

Mark 2:27–28

Since Jesus is the Lord of humanity (1 Corinthians 15:25–28; Ephesians 1:20–22; Philippians 2:9–11) and since the Sabbath was made to meet the needs of people, Jesus is Lord even of the Sabbath. Like when Jesus claimed authority to forgive sins, this also showed that he claimed authority that belongs to God (Mark 2:7).

Mark 2:23–28

In this controversy, Jesus and his disciples are accused of breaking the Sabbath (Exodus 20:8–11). Picking grain by hand in another person’s field was lawful (Deuteronomy 23:25). The charge was that by rubbing the chaff from the kernels, the disciples were working on the Sabbath, which was forbidden (Exodus 34:21).

Mark 2:1–3:6

Five controversy stories (2:1–12, 13–17, 18–22, 23–28; 3:1–6) are grouped together because they share a common theme. Each story shows a conflict between Jesus and the religious leaders. In these accounts, Jesus says or does things that challenge their beliefs and practices. These stories show the great authority that Jesus has.
