Jesus was trying to teach the Pharisees that their religious posturing was not based on the spiritual, but on their legal and ritualistic laws. In Mark 7: 6 - 8, He calls them hypocrites and says, `You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on the traditions of men.

Jesus trying to teach the people and the pharisees that the day of the sabbath is made for the son of man, simply meaning the sabbath day is for the lord and not the son of man made for the sabbath, Lord jesus christ can work, teach and give mercy on that day for the people seeking God and he started to changed that day as his political will against to pharisees, and up to now the day of the sabbath is for the lord and for tha people.

Jesus was trying to make the way clear to discovery of the meaning of the Law. The Law should not be so rigid that it can cost lives when there are alternatives to prevent the wickedness of men.
Jesus is also portraying the way he values people rather than the law which was made by them as seen in the healing of the man with a withered hand. By: Bol Joseph Agau - April 23, 2007 - Public Category: Lord of the Sabbath

At that time, Jesus
went on the Sabbath day through the grain fields. His disciples were
hungry and began to pluck heads of grain and to eat. But the Pharisees, when they saw
it, said to him, "Behold, your disciples do what is not lawful to do
on the Sabbath."
But he said to them,
"Haven't you read what David did, when he was hungry,
and those who were with him; how he entered into the house of
God, and ate the show bread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither
for those who were with him, but only for the priests? Or have you not read in the law,
that on the Sabbath day, the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath,
and are guiltless? But I
tell you that one greater than the temple is here. But if you had known what this
means, 'I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,' you would not have
condemned the guiltless. For the Son of Man is Lord of the
Sabbath." He departed there, and
went into their synagogue. And behold there was a man with
a withered hand. They asked him, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath
day?" that they might accuse him.
He said to them,
"What man is there among you, who has one sheep, and
if this one falls into a pit on the Sabbath day, won't he grab on to it,
and lift it out? Of how
much more value then is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do
good on the Sabbath day." Then he told the man, "Stretch out your hand." He stretched it out;
and it was restored whole, just like the other. But the Pharisees went out, and
conspired against him, how they might destroy him.
