Jesus said to them: “The sabbath was made for humanity, not humanity for the sabbath.
That is why the Son of Man is lord even of the sabbath.”
(Mk 2:23-28)

Wow! So much for “law & order.” If the sabbath (which is the law) is for us, then perhaps its purpose is not simply to “be obeyed,” but to make us more human. The temple police must be pulling their hair out.
