So one of the things he says is like, if your donkey falls in a ravine, on the Sabbath, do you pull it out? Or is that work? Like, what's the point of the Sabbath? Is it to not do any work? Like, is it to make sure that you're not working too hard? Because you might be breaking the Sabbath. Or like, what is the point? He says, like, the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.
And that there's this intention. This is the whole Sermon on the Mount, Matthew chapter five, is he keeps saying, you have heard it said, but I say, And he refers to the Mosaic Law. And it looks like he's critiquing the Mosaic Law, but he's not actually. He's getting back to the intention of the law. So he says, you know, you have heard it said, do not commit murder.
