“Your disciples are doing what is unlawful on the sabbath (Matt. 12:2; Mark 2:24); why do you do what is not proper on a sabbath? (Luke 6:2); on the sabbath the priests profane the sabbath (Matt. 12:5); it is unlawful to carry your pallet on the sabbath (John 5:10); do not come to be healed on the sabbath (Luke 13:14); is it lawful to heal on the sabbath? (Matt. 12:10; Luke 14:3); they watched him to see if he would heal on the sabbath (Mark 3:2; Luke 6:7); he took up his pallet and walked, on the sabbath (John 5:9); for this reason the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he healed on the sabbath (John 5:16); it was a sabbath when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes (John 9:14); the official was indignant because Jesus had healed on the sabbath (Luke 13:14); he not only broke the sabbath but called God his Father (John 5:18); this man is not from God because he does not keep the sabbath (John 9:16); is it lawful to do good or to harm on the sabbath? (Mark 3:4; Luke 6:9); if a sheep falls into a pit on the sabbath, who will not pull it out? (Matt. 12:11); you untie and water livestock on the sabbath (Luke 13:15); who will not pull a son or an ox out of a well on the sabbath? (Luke 14:5); you circumcise on the sabbath (John 7:22–3); why be angry because I made a made a whole man well on the sabbath? (John 7:23); it is lawful to do good on the sabbath (Matt. 12:12); the sabbath was made for man, not man for the sabbath (Mark 2:27); the Son of man is Lord of the sabbath (Matt. 12:8; Mark 2:28; Luke 6:5); let no one judge you with regard to a festival, New Moon or sabbath (Col. 2:16).”
