‘Hypocrite, doesn’t each one of you loose his ox on the Sabbath?’ On a number of occasions, the religious leaders of Israel condemned Jesus for breaking the Sabbath commandment by performing miracles on that day. ‘And for this reason the Jews persecuted Jesus and wanted to kill him: because he did these things on the Sabbath’ (John 5, 6). They had fallen into the delusion of apparently observing the commandments rigorously, or, as one commentator puts it ‘they pretended to be devoted to God’.
