What the Bible says about Healing the Paralytic on the Sabbath
(From Forerunner Commentary)
Jesus, referring to the miracle He had performed in John 5, healing the paralytic on the Sabbath, rebukes the Jews for condemning Him for healing on the Sabbath day. In doing this, they disregarded the fact that they circumcised baby boys on their eighth day, even if that day was a Sabbath. He instructs them not to judge solely according to what they see but with righteous judgment—how God sees things. He sees things far differently than we humans do.
