John 7:21-24
I did one work, and you all marvel because thereof. Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers); and on the sabbath you circumcise a man. If a man receives circumcision on the sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken; are you wroth with me, because I made a man every whit whole on the sabbath? Judge not according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
