Why did Jesus tell the man to take up the mat and walk, even though Jesus knew this violated what the Jews permitted on the Sabbath?

The Law he brings is superior so healing is allowed on the Sabbath too. A soul is far more important than any restrictions. He doesn`t disclose his identity but appeals to the paralytic to be faithful. Sin no more and he obeys. You know how worthy waht I gifted you with is. The man confirms Jesus authority. Like at Cana the servants obeying to his mother. Their awe and obeyance shines back on Jesus so to say. They both speak and act rooted in full confidence in God the Father.

When Jesus breathed his last and was pronounced dead; why did The Roman centurion glorify god?

The centurion is struck by Jesus human courage in facing the suffering in the name of the Father.The physical pain is extreme. The question of honor is dear to a true soldier - faithful till physical death. Its the trust in the Father that is mind and heart blowing for him. There is a breakage death like in the veil like Heaven and Earth were joint when Jesus was born - God becoming human - so now he leaves the earth. It`s a sign of deep pain and cataclismatic end of the times. But like he said to the disciples when all seems to collapse be steadfast. No fear. Full trust. As I am.

Why do you think Jesus did not speak to Herod nor answer Pilate?

They were prepared to let him go but the people condemned him. He doesn`t reply because he belongs to the Kingdom. He is not of this world. The Father is far more powerful and does not need recognition or approval. We have to aknwoledge him though though. Recognition should come from them. That`s why he challenges them with a question. He`s very confident and positively provocative. The elders have to say you are the Christ recognising that what was prophesised in the OT they have treasured - should have treasured - is true. He challenges them but less the Romans who were not anticipated his coming. He hasn`t broken any eartlly Roman law and he si not a threat. this is why the disappoinyted jews who misunderstood the message condemned him. Herod expected a powerful man in the sense of earthly power or some kind of magician. Which Christ is not. He tempts him like the devil. They believe and are struck by his steadfast reply and attitude but not enough as they are afraid of the mob: they fear a loss of eartly power so they dont recognise him in front of the multitudes.
