Yes, that is what is scripture says.
1Jn_2:6 He that saith he abideth in him ought
himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
See Luke 4:14-19.
John 5:18
For this reason they tried all the more to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.
The Pharisees were upset that Jesus had healed a man on the sabbath (see context).
John the Apostle writes, that this showed how Jesus disregarded the Pharisaical traditions, and cut free, "broke" free, loosed, untied, the Sabbath of the actual commandment of God (Exodus 20:8-11)
from those man-made regulations which actually transgressed the commandment itself. Please notice I did not say the Pharisees were saying this. John is making a specific point about Jesus healing in contrast to the Pharisees murderous intents in relation to the Sabbath. Jesus truly honoured it, setting it back in its proper light, and abolishing the darkness by which the devil, through 'religious' men, had clouded it with.
The word that John (inspired of the Holy Ghost) uses is
not the word for
"transgression" of God's law. It is
not Koine Greek, "αμαρτιαν" ([h]amartia), nor "ανομια" (a-nomia).
John 5:18, this word for
“broken” is
"ελυεν" G3089 V-IAI-3S [Grk. Trans. = eleun] and, generally meaning
'loosed' [as in,
'untied', 'unbound', 'set free'], can be seen in other passages, like:
loose, 15
Mat_16:19, Mat_18:18, Mar_11:2 (2), Mar_11:4, Luk_13:15, Luk_19:30-31 (2), Luk_19:33, Joh_11:44, Act_24:25-26 (2), Rev_5:2, Rev_5:5, Rev_9:14

Therefore did Jesus
transgress, destroy, eliminate (etc) the Sabbath of the Commandment? No. He clearly defends His position from Scripture upholding the Sabbath. Did Jesus “dissolve” the Sabbath? Again, No, otherwise why defend His actions from Scripture about the appropriateness of what was permissible in/on the Sabbath? Did Jesus actually “break” the Sabbath? No, for that would have been sin [1 John 3:4, etc], and would have been contrary to Jesus' own mission as stated in Prophecy [Isaiah 42:21], in which He would “magnify” the Law and make it “honourable”, not dishonourable or lessened. Therefore, what does this word “broken” mean in the context of the Pharisaical understanding? Jesus ignored their ma-made traditions which placed heavy “burdens” upon Sabbath, which God never gave:
Mat_23:4 For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.
Jesus therefore indeed
“broke” the Sabbath
free of these horrendous selfish regulations which the Pharisees, etc had burdened it with, but never ever would break/transgress the Sabbath as commanded to all men (Exodus 20:8-11).
In effect, what Jesus did was give rest back to the people on Sabbath. 
He loosed their
man-made restrictions by example, untied those toilsome knots, and set it free to be obeyed in righteousness. See Isaiah 58, even contexually in regards the Sabbath:
Isa_58:6 Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?
Mat_11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Mat_11:30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Exo_33:14 And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.
John 9:16
Some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath.” But others asked, “How can a sinner perform such signs?” So they were divided.
Who do you believe, them or Jesus?
Isaiah 42:21 The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make [it] honourable.
John 15:10 "...
I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love."
The corrupted and self-centered Religious leaders, these particular pharisees, etc were the ones who had the spirit of their father the devil [John 8:44], being satan, the accuser [Revelation 12:10], and accused Jesus of many things, falsely, and in misunderstanding, even as they had of John the Baptist [the herald of the First Advent], for in their hearts they were the murderers, transgressing the commandments, they were the true Sabbath breakers, while Christ Jesus restored it to what it was always meant to be:
Matthew 11:18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.
Luke 7:33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.
They were accusers of Him who is without sin, the innocent blood:
John 18:29 Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man?
They accused Him of Blasphemy:
Matthew 26:65 Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.
Mark 14:64 Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death.
John 10:33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
They falsely accused Jesus of being a "winebibber", a "drunkard" and "gluttonous":
Matthew 11:19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.
Luke 7:34 The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!
They falsely accused Him of being devil possessed:
Mark 3:22 And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils.
John 7:20 The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee?
John 8:48 Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
John 8:52 Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.
John 10:20 And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?
John 10:21 Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?
They falsely accused Him of casting out devils by the devil:
Matthew 12:24 But when the Pharisees heard [it], they said, This [fellow] doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.
They falsely accused Him of being a seditious rebel, like Barabbas, perverting the nation:
Luke 23:2 And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this [fellow] perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ a King.
Luke 23:5 And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place.
They falsely accused Him of being not of God:
John 9:16 Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.
Yet, Jesus said of Himself:
John 8:49 Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but
I honour my Father, and
ye do dishonour me.
Others said, even as True witnesses [compared to the false witnesses], even later His own enemies:
"holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners" [Hebrews 7:26]
that "holy thing" [Luke 1:35]
and "holy child" [Acts 4:27,30]
born of the "Holy Ghost" [Matthew 1:18; Luke 1:35],
where even though He came in the likeness [Romans 8:3; Philippians 2:7; etc] of sinful flesh, yet He was without sin:
"...lamb shall be without blemish..." [Exodus 12:5]
"
But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none." [Matthew 26:60]
"...the innocent blood..." [Matthew 27:4]
"...For he knew that for envy they had delivered him. ..." [Matthew 27:18]
"
Have thou nothing to do with that just man
" [Matthew 27:19]
"
Why, what evil hath he done?
" [Matthew 27:23]
"
I am innocent of the blood of this just person
" [Matthew 27:24]
"The said Pilate
I find no fault in this man. [Luke 23:4]
"
Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him:" [Luke 23:14]
"
what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him ..." [Luke 23:22]
"...lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him." [Luke 23:15]
"...this man hath done nothing amiss." [Luke 23:41]
"
Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man." [Luke 23:47]
"Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth." [John 9:31]
"...I have kept my Father's commandments..." [John 15:10]
"...I find in him no fault [at all]." [John 18:38]
"...I find no fault in him." [John 19:4]
"...I find no fault in him." [John 19:6]
"...the obedience of one..." [Romans 5:19]
"...who knew no sin..." [2 Corinthians 5:21]
"...without sin." [Hebrews 4:15]
"...[who is] holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners..." [Hebrews 7:26]
"Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:" [1 Peter 2:22]
"...in him is no sin." [1 John 3:5]
"How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God..." [Hebrews 9:4;p]
The scripture declares who the real sinners and Sabbath breakers were, it was those murderous and plotting pharisees, who while seeking to accuse Jesus, to find fault with Him, and plotted against Him how they might overcome Him, and to kill Jesus upon the Sabbath are seen in their stark and hateful contrast to the compassionate, loving restorer and Saviour of life, Jesus Christ, who in His work, healed, delivered, saved, restored, gave rest to those in pain, suffering, mourning, shewing mercy, demonstrating the fulfillment of love, etc upon the Sabbath, showing all mankind the perfect loving example of what True Sabbath keeping was to be.
Jesus healed a man lame in his legs for 38 years [John 5:5] [even as Israel in the wilderness for 38 years; Deuteronomy 2:14], because of sin. Jesus is looking to heal our walk upon the Sabbath, leading us back in the Way of God, His Commandments, Honouring our Father in Heaven, calling the Sabbath a delight, Honourable, Honouring Him in it [Isaiah 58:13; Exodus 20:12], that we may be able to walk once more with Him upon the Sabbath in righteousness, as it was from Creation.
Jesus healed a man with a withered hand in the gathering upon Sabbath [Matthew 12:9-15; Mark 3:1-6; Luke 6:6-11], and it was the "right hand" [thus a connection to the Seal and Mark]. This man, a church [Acts 7:38] goer, was crippled in his right hand, thus as we see, he represents those in the church whose right hand is withered, their obedience to the Commandments of God is withered, crippled, their actions enfeebled in true service, and yet Jesus would come to them and heal their limp and lifeless service to Him, and make it vibrant again. The right hand is also connected to God's Law, being then also connected to the Seal of the Living God, and also to the Mark of the Beast, for those who take the Mark of the Beast, shall indeed receive a crippling mark in the right hand, for they will have forsaken the right way, and chosen the commandments of men over the Commandments of God, and remain as sinners in the bondage, chains of sin.
Jesus healed a blind man [John 9:1-41] on the Sabbath, restoring the sight not only physically, but also spiritually, so that He could not only see the Saviour physically, but also see that He was truly the Saviour, the Messiah, the Christ, the sent of God. As it is written, Laodicea is blind [Revelation 3:17-18], and needs also the restoring and saving power of Jesus Christ to heal them, from their own blindness, that they may see the beauty of Christ Jesus, the LORD of the Sabbath, and what ought needs be done therein. Turn to Isaiah 58 and Isaiah 61 and Job 29, and read wherein the healing of the sight needs to happen, so that the blind may see again the glory of the LORD, and see their fellow man, lost in sin and in suffering, and take the Everlasting Gospel to them. Jesus did this very thing in Luke 4:17-32]. If any choose to remain blind as the pharisees of old, they will fall into the ditch, for that ditch, spiritually, is the "harlot" [Proverbs 23:27], and her harlot daughters, and that "harlot" is found in Revelation 17:1-18, Revelation 19:2. Her mark is the false sabbath - "sunday". God's Seal is the 7th Day of which the Holy Spirit seals those who love God and keep His Commandments with.
Jesus is looking to restore the 7th Day the Sabbath of the LORD thy God to this world [as so many have forgotten it, trample upon its sacred hours, and upon Him who makes it Holy], and to give them rest, from sin [1 John 3:4].
It truly is amazing, that those that fight and war against God and resist Him in keeping the 7th Day the Sabbath of the LORD [Jesus] thy God Holy, thus desecrating it, do all in their power to tear that single Holy Commandment from the heart of God's Law, and say all manner of things in contradiction to one another, presenting all manner of "lame" excuses, arguments to continue in sin [1 John 3:4] in spite of the grace of God [Romans 6:1], but none of them in that treasonous apostasy [against the Kingdom, Law of God's own government] and open rebellion, agree with one another over it, except in their hatred of it, even as they had over the LORD of it:
Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put Him to death; (Matthew 26:59)
But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, [yet] found they none. At the last came two false witnesses, (Matthew 26:60)
For many bare false witness against Him, but their witness agreed not together. (Mark 14:56)
And there arose certain, and bare false witness against Him, saying, (Mark 14:57)
But neither so did their witness agree together. (Mark 14:59)
