John Trapp on Mark 2:27

Verse 27. The Sabbath was made for man] That is, for mans safety and advantage. As he would be undone without it, hee would grow wild, and forget God: so, if it stand in the way of his safety, it is not to be observed; as if an enemy then assault us, [illegible: 1 word] Cassius. we may fight with him. Pompey could never have taken Jerusalem, but that the superstitious Jewes refused to defend themselves on the Sabbath: which when he observed, he then, on that day most feircely assaulted them and took their City.
