Jesus' defense of his disciples as they gathered grain to eat on the Sabbath. 2. Jesus' healings on the Sabbath. 3. Jesus' condemnation of the Pharisee's attitude toward the law in Matthew 23.

For example, one interpretation of the Two Sons (the Prodigal Son) is that Jesus is expressing to the jews that the Father's heart is also toward the prodigals which could represent the gentiles, and that God is asking the jewish nation to share the Father's love for the "lesser one", ie. the prodigal and the gentiles. I was wondering where Jesus spoke about what the law was for, what it is unable to do. One possibility is the parable about the workers that the farmer paid uniformly one day's wage even tho' some only worked one hour. Can you think of another parable or other that Jesus said about limitations of the law? I believe that Jesus said either outright or in parables all of the tenets of faith that we now hold.
