From Matthew 12:9 and onward, we see a controversy emerging, triggered by Jesus’ healing of the sick on the Sabbath. Prior to this event, we saw how the disciples of Jesus were denounced by the Pharisees for plucking heads of grain and eating them on the Sabbath. But in spite of their criticism, Jesus went ahead and healed many sick people even on the Sabbath.
The Lord healed a man who had a withered hand, and He also healed a demon-possessed, blind and mute man on the very day. As a result of this, He came to be treated as the ruler of demons by the Pharisees, as they accused, “This fellow does not cast out demons except by Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons.” The Pharisees were indeed foolish men, for they did not recognize the ministries of Jesus Christ, as they did not realize that the Son of God would come to this earth as a man and heal the illnesses of both body and soul. This is why the Pharisees denounced Jesus as demonically possessed.
