The Ten Commandments Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.

The Torah The Torah prohibits work on the Sabbath, but not all work. The Torah prohibits Melachah: work that is creative, or that exercises control or dominion over your environment. Why do you think that this type of work is prohibited? (think about the origins of the law)

Community Cohesion Community cohesion refers to the aspect of togetherness and bonding exhibited by members of a community, the "glue" that holds a community together. This might include features such as a sense of common belonging or cultural similarity. BACK

How did it lead to conflict? Humiliated the leaders Broke the law The authorities were looking for trouble Jesus showed his power in front of a crowd The authorities were wrong and Jesus had to cause conflict to allow changes to be made. BACK

How can these teachings lead to issues of social and community cohesion? Different faiths have different special days. You cannot make everybody observe all of them. Employers should not be forced to allow “holy” days off. Not all people are religious. It can damage a company to have to allow all the days off. Back

Christians today Jesus heals the man showing the powers of God and that he is the Son of God The fact that Jesus heals shows that we can pray for healing today It shows that we do not have to rest on Sundays because Jesus said that the Sabbath was made for the man and not the man for the Sabbath. This would apply to Sunday as well. The fact that the Pharisees were in the corn field shows that they were trying to trap Jesus. He got into conflict because people did not understand him and because they did not want to understand.
