Thanks for the questions. First of all, the fourth commandments that I quoted is God's Words, not mine. We should get our direction on all things from the Bible, including how do you keep God's Holy day.
Jesus never sinned, but was accused of sinning by people who made Sabbath a curse and not the blessing it is supposed to be. (Similar to all the pushback you get on Gods Sabbath now- not a lot has changed).
Gods Sabbath was established from creation Genesis 2:3 and will continue on the New Earth Isaiah 66:23. We are told it is an everlasting covenant Exodus 31:16
We are told to set aside week-day pleasures and pursuits on the Sabbath
Isaiah 58:13, 14 “If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath,
From doing your pleasure on My holy day,
And call the Sabbath a delight,
The holy day of the Lord honorable,
And shall honor Him, not doing your own ways,
Nor finding your own pleasure,
Nor speaking your own words,
We should do good on the Sabbath Mathew 12:11-13
Jesus said He made Sabbath for man Mark 2:27
What Jesus taught about Sabbath-keeping Luke 14:1-5
How I keep Sabbath is by going to church, reading the Bible, Bible studies, praying, watching online sermons and if I can do something good like visit my grandma or help someone in need I do that as well. To give an example- if my neighbor needs help with a fence, I consider that work and can do that on Sunday-Friday, but if my neighbor gets in an accident and needs me to drive them to the ER, that I can do.
There is a lot more to be said about the Sabbath. The Sabbath is an important part of the Bible throughout the OT and NT.
I hope this helps.
God bless.

Thanks, but I won't be wrestling the Scripture (2Pe 3:16) of Jn 13:34.
It was new in the sense that it instituted a brotherhood in Christ's love for them, but it is his same hallmark commandment (Mt 22:37-40).

I think this is the reasoning of the synagogue official. Jesus has just healed someone who was oppressed for 18 years. He heals her on the Sabbath.
The official says that people should come on the other six days to be healed. The woman was sick for 18 years, it was not an emergency healing.
Is the official wrong in his reasoning?

On a different note, do you drive to church? If so, how long does it take you to drive there?

Jesus was telling them it was "new" because it was "new to them", etc, since He was speaking to Jews under the OT law covenant of Moses, etc, and He knew that, etc, which is why He said it was "new" to them, etc...
But it is both what was, and both always has been/existed from the beginning, etc, and even before that, etc, see the books of 1 John and 2 John for that, as I'm not going to do your work for you right now, etc...
And it was also part of the covenant of faith that existed before the law also, etc, the covenant Abraham, Issac, and Jacob (and Joseph) (and his brothers) were under, etc, before Moses, etc...
Or the covenant that existed in Genesis and before we get into Exodus, etc...
New and also very very old, etc...
Do you believe God existed both in and from before the beginning, etc...?
Cause if you do, then Love did, etc, cause God is Love, etc...
And surely you know that scripture, etc...
Anyway,
God Bless!

OK, since you want to quote Matthew then, then what about Matthew 22:40 then...? Where He said upon these two greatest of all commandments the whole rest of the OT law hanged, or hung or hinged, etc...?
What do you think He meant by that, etc...?
Do you maybe perhaps think that He maybe meant "got it's origins" or "pre-dated them" maybe, etc...?
Yes...? No...?
What do you think...?
God Bless!

That both is and has always been "from the beginning", correct...?
And that was, all both in, and was a part of God/in God/was God, etc, since that time, correct...?
Being both "The Word", and "Love", right...?
Yes...? No...?
God Bless!

The only two laws:
Matthew 22:36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”
Jeremiah 31:31-34
“Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, declares the Lord. But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord:
I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts.
(not in any book)
And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”
Hebrews 8:13
In speaking of a new covenant, he makes the first one obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

Scripture (the Word) was already in (the mind/heart of) God from the very beginning, correct...?You're going to have to be more specific if I am going to understand you.
And Love was also, and both is and was and has always been, the "command", from that time, right...?
Predates the OT law covenant, right...?
Yes or No...?
God Bless!
