When religious leaders accused Jesus of working on the day of rest (Jesus), why did Jesus get so angry?
jesus was angered because although keeping the sabbath was one of the laws demanded by God in the scriptures, however it did not mean that the israelites should become blind slaves to the laws .The Sabbath day was established for man.The law was established for man .when they followed these rules blindly thinking that is the way to achieve grace ''by their deeds''they lost all perspective as to what God asked of them, that he is the one to be loved and obeyed, Before the ten commandments the following words are written, I, the Lord your God, am the God who lead you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery, ''Exodus 20:2''. In other words, the forgiveness and salvation of God, the grace of God and the work of his salvation based on that grace came first. The reason they were saved was not that they had kept the law. It is because of his grace. jesus kept on teaching us to love the creator and not the created.

On Sabbath day. No one could work on that day. We should give that day to God. Come to the house of the Lord. Join with the other believer to praise and worship.

Jesus got angry, because He knew that when His Father created the world, that His Father understood our weakened human frailties. God knew that we were in need of one day a week to rest. He knew how busy our lives were, and wanted us to have one day where not only our bodies could rest, but our souls could rest as well. As hard as we humans try to keep God the central part of our lives, when we are dashing around trying to get so much accomplished, our attention is not on Him. God wants us to have one day to replenish our strength, ''body and soul''. So why did Jesus get so angry....because His mind was focused on His Heavenly Father. He was doing His Father`s bidding.

Jesus got angry because their hearts had hardened so much that they would rather do harm by doing nothing on the sabbath than to heal someone because it meant working. I think.

Gathering food to eat, healing someone who is sick. Two things which are vital for humans to be happy. Jesus became angry at the religious leaders because they would rather follow their laws than their hearts. The Sabbath was made FOR man not man for the Sabbath. A taste of heaven where everyone has what they need to be happy.

jessus get so angry to the religious leaders, because for following the old traditions or commandments, the sabbath day is for rest, but jesus speaks that the sabbath was made for man and not man for the sabbath it means that jesus or anyone can work on the sabbath, , jessus change this old commandments from his time and now we are following the new commandments which jesus christ has leave in us love your god with all your minds, with all your hearts and with all your souls, and love your neighbors as you love yourselves and also he said love one another as i love you, this is now the meaning of the sabbath, the seventh day was made for man. we are now leaving in a material world with cars, electricity, computers ect.and even on saturdays we were working or playing no time for rest we made ourselfs buisy but at the following day which is sunday we give our time to worship god at the church to pray for our graces, supplications and thanksgiving.

Jesus was upseet because the religious leaders accused Him for healing the sic on Sabbath. Sabbath day are meant for the people to worship the Lord our God and people tends to mistaken that sabbath day is for them to enjoy themselves and healing the sick is doing somethimg good.

Jesus is Lord even of the sabbath
Listening the pharisee`s question, Jesus` look upon them was with anger, with a stern countenance, which showed indignation at them, though without sin, or any desire of revenge, for the evil they were meditating against him; for at the same time he had pity and compassion for them. Jesus understood how hard their mind are. By healing the withered person, Jesus proclaimed that He is the Son of God. In this context, Jesus got so angry only because He, being grieved at the hardening of their hearts. or ``the blindness of their hearts``.

why did Jesus use the past reference of David when he came to change old to new?
Yesterday the Lord talked of new wineskin and new piece of cloth but today he is using the old example to give us the meaning of the sabbath

Lord of the Sabbath

It happened that he was going on the Sabbath day through the grain fields, and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of grain. The Pharisees said to him, "Behold, why do they do that which is not lawful on the Sabbath day?"
He said to them, "Did you never read what David did, when he had need, and was hungry--he, and those who were with him? How he entered into the house of God when Abiathar was high priest, and ate the show bread, which is not lawful to eat except for the priests, and gave also to those who were with him?" He said to them, "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. Therefore the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath."

He entered again into the synagogue, and there was a man there who had his hand withered. They watched him, whether he would heal him on the Sabbath day, that they might accuse him. He said to the man who had his hand withered, "Stand up." He said to them, "Is it lawful on the Sabbath day to do good, or to do harm? To save a life, or to kill?" But they were silent. When he had looked around at them with anger, being grieved at the hardening of their hearts, he said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He stretched it out, and his hand was restored as healthy as the other. The Pharisees went out, and immediately conspired with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.
