Notes

Matthew 12:9

their synagogue: A separation was developing between Jesus and Judaism (also Matthew 4:23).

Matthew 12:9–14

This second Sabbath controversy criticizes the Pharisees for prioritizing rules over people's needs (see Matthew 12:7, 11–12).

Matthew 12:1–14

Matthew closely connects the offer of rest Jesus gives (Matthew 11:28–30) with a discussion about the Sabbath. The rest Jesus offers liberates people from human traditions about the Sabbath (see Hebrews 4:1–11). The Pharisees rejected Jesus because they had a commitment to their tradition.
