It was actually Exodus 16:23 when first mentioned. Then he said to them, "This is what the LORD has said: 'Tomorrow is a Sabbath rest, a holy Sabbath to the LORD. Bake what you will bake today, and boil what you will boil; and lay up for yourselves all that remains, to be kept until morning.' " I wasn't talking about when it was first mentioned. You are citing instructions on preparations for the Sabbath, not for the Sabbath Day itself. They do however imply attributes of the Sabbath Day, in that one should not be cooking, as that is indeed a form of work. I should have said "instructions for."

The point remains that the article says Yeshua kept the Mosaic Law, where this demonstrates that, in this important inatance, He did not (at least in terms of plain meaning). One could cite Rav Shaul's teachings about what is done in love per G-d's instructions (as opposed to rigid or self-righteous compliance), but that's dancing around the question with regard to the tenor of the article.

You fail to read everything. Jesus and the disciples at the time had to follow all the laws, both ceremonial and doctrine because Jesus had not yet died and freed us from them.

His teachings though are there for us to learn from. Thorough His sacrificial death and resurrection we are free from the Law, and those teachings I shared prove it.
