The notion that Jesus Christ broke any of the ten commandments that were created by him, spoken by his lips, and written by his hand is a non-starter. That would mean that Jesus Christ was a sinner. He wasn't of course.

And, HE is a HUMAN - just like you.

What WAS 'taught' here' is there is a higher princle than slavishly 'following the LAW'.

The issue wasn't about whether or not to honor the sabbath of the Lord Jesus Christ.

The issue here was that the Pharisees were criticizing Jesus for healing a man on the sabbath. Yet on the sabbath it was acceptable and right for the Jews to pull an ox or a donkey out of a ditch to prevent it from drowning or otherwise being hurt. Jesus was showing how their hyprocrisy for criticizing him for healing a man on the sabbath. If any law was at fault it was the manmade laws of the Pharisees.

But there's no question that both Jesus Christ and the Pharisee's recognized the Lord's sabbath as holy.
