The Transformation of Jesus: Sabbath, Rules, and Holiness

Jesus has two encounters with the Pharisees and it ends with "he looked around at them in anger and, deeply distressed at their stubborn hearts. The pharisees are hung up on rules and obedience to rules as the pathway to holiness. Part of Jesus' transformation is that he's paying attention to the anger that he's feeling and he responds to it in a way that's healthy and not destructive.
