And at once the man was healed, and he took up his bed and walked. Now that day was the Sabbath.

So the Jews said to the man who was cured, "It is the Sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed."

For this reason the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he was doing these things on the Sabbath.

Therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.

Moses therefore gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.

If on the Sabbath a man receives circumcision, so that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because on the Sabbath I made a man's whole body well?

Now it was a Sabbath day when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes.

Some of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath." But others said, "How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?" And there was a division among them.

Therefore, because it was the day of Preparation, that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
