What does the Bible say about Jesus' authority on the Sabbath?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus claimed authority over the Sabbath, emphasizing that His work is God's work.

In John 5:17, Jesus states, 'My Father works hitherto, and I work.' This declaration emphasizes His divine authority and equality with God, illustrating that the work He performed on the Sabbath, including healing the impotent man, is consistent with God's redemptive purposes. Jesus did not abolish the Sabbath; rather, He fulfilled its true meaning, which is to highlight the rest found in God's work rather than human traditions or legalistic constraints.
