马太福音-Matthew 12章2节

12:2 法利赛人看见,就对祂说,看哪,你的门徒在作安息日不可作的事。
  But the Pharisees, seeing this, said to Him, Behold, Your disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath.

Enlightenment:

The Pharisees condemned what the Lord’s disciples were doing, saying it was not lawful on the Sabbath. The Sabbath was for the Jews to remember the completion of God’s creation (Gen. 2:2), to keep the sign of God’s covenant with them (Ezek. 20:12), and to remember God’s redemption for them (Deut. 5:15). Hence, to profane the Sabbath was a serious matter in the eyes of the religious Pharisees. To them it was not lawful, not scriptural. But they did not have adequate knowledge of the Scripture. According to their meager knowledge, they cared for the ritual of keeping the Sabbath, not for the hunger of the people. 

亮光

法利赛人定罪主的门徒所作的,说那是安息日不可作的事。安息日是为着叫犹太人记念神完成创造的工作,(创二2,)守住神与他们立约的证据,(结二十12,)并记念神给他们的救赎。(申五15。)因此,在宗教的法利赛人眼中,渎犯安息日是非常严重的事。对他们来说,那是不可作的事,是不合乎圣经的。但他们没有充分的圣经知识。他们按着自己贫乏的知识,只顾遵守安息日的仪式,却不顾人的饥饿。
