Then Jesus said, "Why go ye about to kill me?"
It was a guilty secret that the rulers of the Jews
had kept from the people and it shocked them.
They tried to get around it by saying, "Thou hast
a devil; who goeth about to kill thee?"

Jesus ignored them and referred to His earlier
miracle of healing on the porches of Bethesda on
the Sabbath day. Because it was done on the
Sabbath day the Jews had sought to kill Him.

Jesus pointed out their inconsistency by stating
that the Law said a child had to be circumcised
on the eighth day even if it landed on the Sabbath.
So wasn't healing more or just as important?
