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``.

Fasting

Fasting was considered as a religious practice in the early times. Jesus tells the scribes that He could not put the new divine energy, unfolded in Himself, into the old forms of Pharisaism. And there was another reason for it -the presence of the Bridegroom. How could the children of the bridechamber fast while the Bridegroom was with them? He should be taken from them, and then would be the time to fast. He proceeds to insist on the incompatibility between the old Jewish vessels and the power of the gospel. The latter would but subvert Judaism, to which they sought to attach it. That which took place when the disciples went through the cornfields confirms this doctrine.
