In this saying, Jesus declares that He has been given authority even over the law of the Sabbath day. By the term “Son of Man,” He speaks of His divine identity and authority, showing that He is higher than religious laws and restrictions. Jesus, as the “Lord of the Sabbath day,” has the authority to determine how the law concerning the Sabbath day should be understood and applied. This declaration is important, because Jesus shows that He came not to impose strict limitations within the law, but to free people from unnecessary burdens and to раскрыть the deep essence of the law.
