How do we know that Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath?

Answered in 2 sources

Jesus declares His lordship over the Sabbath by stating that He is the one who provides true rest and interprets the law.

Jesus demonstrates His authority as the Lord of the Sabbath not only through His words but also through His actions. In Mark 2:28, He asserts, 'Therefore the Son of Man is Lord also of the Sabbath.' This indicates that He has the authority to define the purpose of the Sabbath and to lift burdens imposed by misguided religious interpretations. His teachings and miracles on the Sabbath reveal that the rituals were not intended to be burdensome but were meant to serve humanity by pointing to the grace and mercy found in Him. Thus, His lordship clearly affirms that He, as the one who gives true rest, redefines the application of the Sabbath for His followers.
