The claim that Jesus was criticised by the Pharisees for performing
cures on the Sabbath has been repeated emphatically for almost
2,000 years. But a careful, unprejudiced evaluation of the gospels
- the only source of this accusation - shows that the historical
Jesus was never criticised by historical Pharisees for performing
Sabbath cures. In fact, Jesus and the Pharisees were in complete
agreement that cures on the Sabbath should always be performed. It
is moreover evident that the Sabbath healing events in the gospels
have preserved a significant part of the history of the Jewish
debate. This debate sought to resolve the apparent conflict between
the demands of Jewish law, and the performance of deeds of healing
and/or saving life. This contention, from its Maccabean origins
through to the end of the second century CE, is the subject of this
book. It is a story that has escaped the attention of historians
partly because it relies on the evidence of both the early
post-biblical Jewish texts and the Christian gospel texts.
