What is the etymological origin of the word Sabbathand how do you connect the teachings here with the fact that when creating the world the Lord rested on the 7h day? So sunday vs sabbath that is the day of rest for the Jews, being Friday sacred for the Moslems.

How is Jesus` way fresh or new compared to old religious practice or tradition?

Fasting is of no use if you have not renewed the body from abstaing what is truly sinful. Not eating and drinking in moderate and joyous quantities.Also the wine Jesus is talkinga bout is the Wine of the banquet of the Lamb, to attend which ragged clothes are not a hindrance. The notanbles refusing the invitaion lacked the most important thing: awareness of the hunger for their spiritual poverty. The poors bcame rich as soon as they accepted to be taken in by the servants.The fishermen of men.

Why did Jesus forgive the man`s sins first, and heal afterward?

I think back in the 1930s Ken, a friend of ours next door neighbour of my in laws, went to Highbury stadium in the days when no seats were available: only standing places. That day, first and last time, he took his then fiancee (then wife) to see the match. Due to the heat and crowds she faints. A small lass she is very thin. No no Jesus on the stands to resurrecte her. But, most shocking experience on her life, she was picked up and passed over the heads. Why did not the multitude do the same with that paralytic who was probably more in need than many of them? Selfishness is one of the sins we need to be healed of, if we want our soul to be raised on.
