For the Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath. The climactic claim: the Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath. The one who condemned the disciples to the Pharisees is the one over whom the Sabbath has no authority. The Lord of the Sabbath is greater than the Sabbath because the Sabbath was made for humanity (Mark 2:27) and the Son of Man is the representative human in whom the Sabbath's rest finds its fulfillment. The Sabbath rest that the disciples experience in following Jesus is the rest Jesus promised in Matthew 11:28–30.
