Jesus and His disciples broke the law. The law broken was not, however, the written law but the oral law prescribed by the sages. Jesus has authority not only over the law, but He has authority to interpret the law. Matthew 12: 1-8; Hebrews 9: 15-23; Matthew 27: 50-51, 22: 29, 23: 1-8, 5: 6-7 (NKJV)
