Matthew 12:8

Verse 8

“For the Son of man is lord of the sabbath.”

Jesus then makes clear the basis of His authority. As Son of Man He is lord of the Sabbath. That is, as God’s appointed King elect (Daniel 7:13-14) He has the right to lay down what the Sabbath requirements really are. The Sabbath is subject to Him.
