Jesus is, again in the synagogue, teaching and comes across a man with a withered hand. Jesus, despite the anticipation of the religious leaders waiting to catch Him heal on the Sabbath, heals the man anyway; proving that He is Lord of the Sabbath. This marks a defining moment for Jesus' ministry as it will lead to the planning of His death.

Jesus reaffirms for the religious leaders that His authority trumps their rabbinical interpretations especially as it relates to matters of the Sabbath. Above that, Jesus declares to them that He is the Lord of the Sabbath.

The misguided and prideful religious leaders can't look past their traditionalism and customs while their very Messiah is before their eyes. We will see Jesus establish a new precedent, a new era by which the Messianic Kingdom is to be received.

Jesus' compassion for the lowly and the sinful continues to show beautifully through His interaction with the rejected of society. By demonstrating overwhelming grace, Jesus catches the attention of the scribes as they seek to see the “Why" behind this profound love and fellowship.

What began as a need to address a physical healing turned into addressing the need of a spiritual healing. True forgiveness is the source of all true divine change. We will witness Jesus heal a paralytic’s spiritual condition and in return change his physical situation. This scene will take the religious leaders by storm after the cusp of the Jewish leper's miraculous healing.

Jesus redirects Peter's focus by having him see that the point of His ministry is to make known the Kingdom through preaching the Gospel of God. The first means of demonstration would be though what is known as the first Messianic miracle – the healing of a Jewish leper.

Jesus demonstrates His authority through teaching and casting out a demon in the synagogue. This display of power and authority catches the eyes and ears of many. We will also witness Jesus demonstrate His healing power by healing Peter's mother-in-law of a chronic fever.
