The Pharisees {\cf2\super [152]} saw this. They said to Jesus, “Look! Your followers are doing something that is against the \{Jewish\} law to do on the Sabbath day.”
One Pharisee was an expert in the law \{of Moses\}. That Pharisee asked Jesus a question to test him.
Then Jesus asked the people, “Which thing is right to do on the Sabbath day: to do good, or to do evil? Is it right to save a life or to destroy one?” The people said nothing to answer Jesus.
But they would not answer his question. So Jesus took the man and healed him. Then Jesus sent the man away.
Then Jesus said to them, “I ask you, which thing is right to do on the Sabbath day: to do good, or to do evil? Is it right to save a life or to destroy one?”
This shows that a person can be circumcised on a Sabbath day to obey the law of Moses. So why are you angry at me for healing a person’s whole body on the Sabbath day?
