The opposition by the

ruler of the synagogue to
Jesus' healing is a lot like

those of today.

Some will go to ridiculous

lengths to oppose the truth.

This ruler was trying to

make out that he was
just trying to keep the sabbath sacred, but he
appeared more angry that the woman had been
healed. He may not have wanted her to stay in
the afflicted condition but the miracle won many
of the people to Jesus which he really apposed.
