THE S. S. LESSON Lesson V. Two Sabbath Incidents, Matt. 12. 1-1}. Golden Text, ‘ M a“. 12. 7. Verse 1. At- that season « The time of year is easily fixed by the fast that the ears were ripe in the fidd. Harvest began in April. Passoverâ€"time was nigh. His disciples were hungryâ€"It is n -t unlikely that they were return~ ing from a. long service in the synaâ€" gogue, and custom prescribed that no food should be eaten until after the morning service. Began to pluck cal-SA»Was this a thrift? Not- uccording to the Jewi 3.: law, which said: “When thou com CSL into the standing cot-n of thy neighbor, then thou mayest pluck tle~ ears with thine hand; but thou shalt not move a sickle unto thy neighbor’s standing corn.” 2. The Pharisees . . . saw it ---~ They were suspicious of Jesus :1!- ready, and wero”on the lookout for opportunities to eutrap him. It is not lawfulâ€"«The illegality of the act of the disciples consisted in the violation of the sabbath. To pluck ears of corn was looked upon as a kind of réaping, and the act of rubbing; the grain out. between the palms of their’ hands was equivaâ€" lent to threshing. What David didâ€"«At Nob. Close study of the Old Testament, pasâ€" sage (1 Sam. 21) shows that David’s act, was a threefold violation of law: (1) entering the sacred shrine, though a layman; (2) eating conse- emted shrewbread, intend-ed only for priests; (3) a breach of the Sab- bath (it being the day for the changing of the leaves, which, ac- cording to Lev. 24. 8, was the. Sal» bath day). The high priest had sanctioned this act of David and those that were with him. Hence, Jesus might have appealed to the law on entirer technical grounds, for his disciples had broken only that interpretation of the. law which was given it by the rabbis. But the case of David constituted a preâ€" cedent out of which Jesus establish- es the principle that occasions arise when a eel-menial law may be set aside for humane reasons. 3. Have ye not readâ€"Charging L'vc Pharisees with ignorance of Scripture. 5 Or have ye not; readâ€"4f they had. they had either not understood or had forgotten. V Priests . . . profane the sabbath â€"â€"It was the common practice of the priests, along with other work, to slay and dress the victims of sac« rifice on the Sabbath day. Said the) rabbis: “There is no keeping of the Sabbath in the temple.” All this was recognized as no impro- priety, simply because it was “done in holy things” in the service of the temple. 9;14~â€"~:\ 1mm hoaled «in the Sub bath The accounts in Mark and Luke, like this one, are placed afâ€" ter the other Sabbath controversy. Luke states definitely that it was ml the Sabbath. 9. Went into their synagogueâ€" Lnkc Says that his purpose was to tvach. Teaching, in these public vi"('~t>ti1'lg places. was not (specially by officials, but by anyone qualiâ€" fic-J. So we find Paul and Barnaâ€" bas, and Jesus, given their oppor- tunity to speak after the reading of the law. And not sacrifice-Jesus had no desire to, do away with the law. He was profoundly desirous of clearing awaythe refuse with which the law had been hedged in by false interâ€" pu‘tations. Whitfield replied to 1le bishop who charged him with \‘iIIliLti-OU of the laws of the church lwcause of his preaching out- of (l(.(,‘- s that there were some things, Lh.‘ souls of men, for example, which were worth all the laws in the canon. The Son of man is lurd~T'ncreâ€" for: his authority extends over all law. 7. I deisire mercyâ€"4t was only brief time previous t0 this that Jesus had quoted these same words, in answer to the pharisaic criticism of his consorting with sinners (Matt. 5). )3; see Less-011 for March 20). The original design of the Subâ€" bath was boneficent. It was made for man's sake, and not man for the sake of the Sabbath (Mark 2. F. One greater than the tomple~ Himself. Works of mercy in his name therefore surpass the works of the temple, and can be performi- e] in violation of the Sabbath law with greater impunity than could the profanations of the priests. INTER NATIONAL LESSON, MAY 1. 10. A man having a withered hand â€"â€"According to Jerome, who quotes from an ancient- writing, he was a mason by trade, and accosted Jesus thus: “I beseech thee, Jesus, to restore me to health, lest I beg bmad in shame.” ls it lawful to heal ‘?~The law ac- tuale permitted healing on the Sabbath day only when a man’s life was at stake. In this case, there- fure. since there was no immediate danger of the man’s dying, to heal his hand would be a. breaking of the law. But only the malice of the ac- cusers of Jesus would have so inter- preted it. 11. He said unto themâ€"31‘er quesâ€" tion had been launched with the purpose of creating a discussion of what things may be done on the Sabbath and what things may xmt. The answer of Jesus put all argu~ ment- to an end, simply by raising the subject to a higher level. The rule of the rabbis was. that if a. sheep should fall into a pit on the sabbath day, it should first be as- certained whether it- had been inâ€" jured. If so, and only (in: this con" dition, it might be dragged out and killed. But, as often. the Jews found a way of getting around this hard rule. The indignation of Jesus was therefore justified. when he saw these legalists much more concerned about their property than human life. Ruumburg, Germany, has invent» ed a new tax. The heirs of persons dcsiriuus of having their goodness, or even their name. inscribed on a tombstone or cross, must pay ton par cent. of tho oust of the manuâ€" ment into the city treasury 12. How much then 'lelC superior value of a man as compared to Pb sheep makes the logic of Jesus irâ€" rcsistiblc. It is lawful to do goodeccm‘d- ing tn Mark and Luke, Jesus had replied to the accusing question of the Pharisees by asking them. “Is it; lawful on the Sabbath day to do good, or to do harm?” To deny it was inqmssible, and to admit it; was to concede to Jesus the right to heal. So they were in a predicaâ€" mtnt. K'Ihe two young men were strap- ped on to horses and brought to thc prince, who received them in the, room which had been the Scene of their terrible crime. There they were kept fur three days and subâ€" jected to indescribable tni'tures till ihty succumbed to the torments and Were buried in a. woods near the, prince's house. The discovery of the crime led to the arrest of Prince Hadjhi. Luck» ily for him he was tried by an orâ€" di1‘-a.i"\' court- and not by a court martial. Hence he escaped capital pi nislmiont, which is unknown to Russian law and can only be in- flirth by military courts. He was sentenced to a lung'tcnn of penal sermtude in a prismn in central Russia.
