Jesus replied that the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the
Sabbath. By following the letter of the Law, His accusers violated the
spirit of the Law (loving your fellow man), since they accused him of
breaking it when he was healing (showing love) on the Sabbath. Their
accusations were made with hearts of stone.

But Matthew, you would agree, would you not, that one should
Not change any book of the Bible?

It does not absolve you, because you did not create the sinner. Nor do you have
the ability to arrange whatever happens in the world to create a good outcome
even out of our evil. But God has this ability, and really does this. So He has
the right, and you do not.
