Reinterpretation of Divorce and Remarriage Matthew 19:9, Mark

of a leading Pharisee Luke 14:1-6, when he heals some men at the pool of Bethzatha John 5: 1-18. In all these cases, Jesus plainly does the thing that is considered to be forbidden by the Law and the people. What Jesus understands about Sabbath is that it is the day where human beings can still do good deeds. In some occasions when he is asked by the Pharisees why he does the thing, Jesus answers that what he does is not forbidden because he does the good thing, healing the sick people. Jesus dares challenged the people, especially the Pharisees, whether or not they know the meaning of Sabbath. He says, “I ask you: What does our Law allow us to do on the Sabbath? To help or to harm? To save someone‟s life or to destroy it?” Mark 3: 4. In another case, when heals a sick man, he does the same thing, challenging people by asking the same question. As no one answers him, Jesus then continues, “If any one of you had a child or an ox that happened to fall in a well on a Sabbath, would you not pull it out at once on the Sabbath itself?” Luke 14: 5. Jesus uses this analogue to make people understand what he means by healing people. From this analogue, Jesus wants people to understand that healing people means to save someone‟s life. Not just leave it and let it die that way. It is the same when someone has to take his children or ox out of the well. Hence, that should not be categorized as breaking the Sabbath itself. Here, Jesus shows his understanding about Sabbath and how people should recognize it. There is also another case about Jesus and Sabbath. It is when Jesus let his disciples eat grain when Sabbath Matthew 12:1-8, Mark 2:23-28, Luke 6:1-5. When Jesus is asked why his disciples do the thing, Jesus answers that question by giving them a question first. The question Jesus gives also comes from Torah itself. Jesus presents the story of David when he fled from Saul, went to the Temple and asked for food as he was hungry Matthew 12: 3-4. It was against the Law as David ate the bread that should be offered to God. Jesus also presents another case from Torah that every Sabbath, the priests actually break the law as they do the offerings and eat it but the priests are not considered guilty. It is written that every Sabbath, the priest must offer to God the bread which was placed in the presence of God Leviticus 24:8. This problem is being called into question by Jesus. By asking this question, Jesus implicitly puts he himself and the disciples equal with the priests. If the priests break the Law but not considered guilty, then Jesus and his disciples are the same. Jesus adds that, human beings are not made for the Sabbath. Instead, the Sabbath is actually made for the good of human beings Mark 2:27. That is why whether David, the priests or Jesus and his disciples can eat in Sabbath for a certain reason. From what he does, Jesus gives his reinterpretation of Sabbath. Sabbath, according to Jesus, is made for human beings for the importance of human beings too. Sabbath should not be the burden for human beings. Instead, it should be very useful. That is why he heals many people in Sabbath and let his disciples eat grain in Sabbath. Jesus has his own reinterpretations of Torah. Despite the fact, he never tries to omit the moral values nor do away with it. He himself says that his presence is to make the Law of Moses, Torah, comes true Matthew 5: 17. From his comments and interpretations about the Law, it is clear that Jesus wants to widen the Jews‟ understanding about it. Jesus brings something new to the
