Since patristic Christian literature (and often modern, even today), there is a commonplace of exegesis to show how “the accomplishment of the Law” by Jesus would result purely and simply in abolishing its rites, especially the Sabbath, which would be replaced by the “eighth day” (Sunday). It is noteworthy today, however, that no such position was ever explicitly put forward by Jesus, who regularly went to the synagogue on the Sabbath, taught there and “went up to the Torah.” The only real grounds for affirming Jesus’denial of the Sabbath depends on a fact which is, one must admit, unquestionable : on various occasions he deliberately “transgressed” it. The thesis of Rabbi Krygier is that, for the evangelists themselves, Jesus did not break the Sabbath to show the futility of its observance, but rather to subvert the order of priorities : in this case, to give preference to the salvation of people of which he himself wishes to be the agent and guarantee.
