John 7:23
v. 23: "Now if a child can be circumcised on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses may not be broken, why are you angry with me for healing a man's whole body on the Sabbath?" (John 7:23 a). Jesus argues that if it is right to do a small act (circumcision) on the Sabbath, it should be even more right to heal someone completely. This exposes their inconsistency in interpreting the law.
