the Jews said to him that was cured, it is the sabbath-day; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed.

upon which occasion the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he did such things on the sabbath-day.

Moses enjoin'd you circumcision (or rather not Moses, but the patriarchs) accordingly you circumcise a man on the sabbath-day.

if to avoid the violation of the Mosaic law, a man be exposed to circumcision on the sabbath-day, are ye angry at me, because I cured a man, whose whole body was indisposed on the sabbath-day?

now it was the sabbath-day when Jesus made the clay, and gave him his sight.

Now for fear the bodies should remain upon the cross on the sabbath-day, for it was then the eve of the pascal-sabbath, a day of high solemnity, the Jews desired Pilate that their legs might be broke, and that they might be taken away.

and immediately the man was healed, and took up his bed, and went his way: but that day being the sabbath,

it was then about the sixth hour of the day before the sabbath of the passover: and he said to the Jews, behold your king.

therefore the Jews were the more eager to kill him, because he had not only violated the sabbath, but likewise, because he had said that God was his proper father, making himself equal with God.

Jesus answered them, I perform'd one single miracle on the sabbath, and does that alarm you?

thereupon some of the Pharisees said, this man has no divine mission, because he does not observe the sabbath. but said others, if he be an impostor, how can he do such miracles? and there was a schism among them.
