And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to kill him, because he had done these things on the sabbath-day.

Because Moses ordered you circumcision; (not that it comes from Moses, but from our ancestors;) so ye circumcise a man on the sabbath-day.

If a man receive circumcision on the sabbath-day, that the law of Moses should not be violated; are ye incensed against me, because I have made a man whole on the sabbath-day?

(Now it was the sabbath-day when Jesus made the mud, and opened his eyes.)

The Jews therefore, as it was the preparation, that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, (for that sabbath-day was a great day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

And instantly the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked away: and that day was the sabbath.
