23 If, to avoid breaking the Law of Moses, a man undergoes circumcision on the Sabbath, why are you angry with Me for making a man’s whole body well on the Sabbath?

Passage themes

The sabbath and circumcision — that the law of Moses should not be broken
Healing on the sabbath — I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day

Notes and references

According to the Law of Moses, a baby boy had to be circumcised on the eighth day, even if it was a Sabbath. It was, therefore, outrageous for the Jews to accuse Jesus of violating the Sabbath by performing a miraculous act of healing.
