Some of the Pharisees said, “This Jesus is not from God, because he doesn’t keep the Sabbath day.” But others asked, “How could a sinner do such signs?” So the Pharisees were divided.
But the synagogue leader was angry because Jesus had healed the woman on the Sabbath day. He told the people, “There are six days for work, so come and be healed on those days. Don’t come on the Sabbath day.”
Then Jesus asked everyone, “What does the Law say we should do on the Sabbath day? Should we do good, or should we do evil? Should we save life, or should we kill?” But no one said anything.
So you circumcise a child on the Sabbath day. If you’ll circumcise a boy on the Sabbath day so that you don’t break the law of Moses, why are you angry with me? I healed a man’s entire body on the Sabbath day!
A man with a weak and twisted hand was there. The Pharisees wanted to accuse Jesus of doing something wrong, so they asked him, “Does the Law permit healing on the Sabbath day?”
