Bible Verses About Sabbath

But the man who had been healed didn’t know who it was, because Yeshua had slipped away into the crowd.

Afterwards Yeshua found him in the Temple court and said to him, “See, you are well! Now stop sinning, or something worse may happen to you!”

Yeshua answered them, “I did one thing; and because of this, all of you are amazed.

Moshe gave you b’rit-milah — not that it came from Moshe but from the Patriarchs — and you do a boy’s b’rit-milah on Shabbat.

If a boy is circumcised on Shabbat so that the Torah of Moshe will not be broken, why are you angry with me because I made a man’s whole body well on Shabbat?

Stop judging by surface appearances, and judge the right way!”

As Yeshua passed along, he saw a man blind from birth.

His talmidim asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned — this man or his parents — to cause him to be born blind?”

Yeshua answered, “His blindness is due neither to his sin nor to that of his parents; it happened so that God’s power might be seen at work in him.

As long as it is day, we must keep doing the work of the One who sent me; the night is coming, when no one can work.

While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”

Having said this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, put the mud on the man’s eyes,

and said to him, “Go, wash off in the Pool of Shiloach!” (The name means “sent.”) So he went and washed and came away seeing.

His neighbors and those who previously had seen him begging said, “Isn’t this the man who used to sit and beg?”

Some said, “Yes, he’s the one”; while others said, “No, but he looks like him.” However, he himself said, “I’m the one.”

“How were your eyes opened?” they asked him.

He answered, “The man called Yeshua made mud, put it on my eyes, and told me, ‘Go to Shiloach and wash!’ So I went; and as soon as I had washed, I could see.”

They said to him, “Where is he?” and he replied, “I don’t know.”

They took the man who had been blind to the P’rushim.

Now the day on which Yeshua had made the mud and opened his eyes was Shabbat.

So the P’rushim asked him again how he had become able to see; and he told them, “He put mud on my eyes, then I washed, and now I can see.”

At this, some of the P’rushim said, “This man is not from God, because he doesn’t keep Shabbat.” But others said, “How could a man who is a sinner do miracles like these?” And there was a split among them.

So once more they spoke to the blind man: “Since you’re the one whose eyes he opened, what do you say about him?” He replied: “He is a prophet.”

The Judeans, however, were unwilling to believe that he had formerly been blind, but now could see, until they had summoned the man’s parents.

They asked them, “Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How is it that now he can see?”
