Luk 6:5 | TNotes | STEP | 6:5 Lord, even over the Sabbath: The saying is a play on words with a double meaning. First, son of man often means “human being,” so Jesus affirmed that the Sabbath was made to serve human beings. Son of Man was also a title for the Messiah (see Dan 7:13-14 ). Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath because he created it.
