In Mark 2:27, Jesus teaches the Sabbath was made for man — this principle underlies his question about doing good on the Sabbath here.

In Mark 2:28, Jesus declares the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath — directly supporting his authority to heal on the Sabbath here.

In Hosea 6:6, God desires mercy over sacrifice — this OT principle aligns with Jesus' priority of doing good over Sabbath rules.

In Matthew 12:10-12, the same event is recorded with added detail about rescuing a sheep on the Sabbath — reinforcing the 'doing good' argument.

In Luke 6:9, the parallel account records Jesus' identical question about doing good or harm on the Sabbath — confirming the narrative.

In Luke 13:13-17, Jesus heals a crippled woman on the Sabbath — another example of his consistent teaching that mercy outweighs Sabbath restrictions.

In Luke 14:1-5, Jesus heals a man with dropsy on the Sabbath — similarly arguing that healing is lawful, reinforcing the same principle.

Matthew 12:12 gives the same Sabbath principle: doing good is lawful. This is a direct parallel account of the same event.

Luke 14:3 records a similar Sabbath question about healing, reinforcing Jesus' consistent teaching on lawful mercy.

John 7:19 exposes the irony: they condemn healing but plot murder, contrasting their professed law-keeping with murderous intent.

John 5:10 shows another Sabbath controversy where opponents focus on rule-breaking rather than the healing itself.
