Geneva Bible Translation Notes

John 7:23

If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the (f) law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day?

(f) That is to say, if the law of circumcision which Moses gave matters so much to you that you do not hesitate to circumcise upon the sabbath, do you rightly reprove me for thoroughly healing a man?

that the law of Moses should not be broken:
or, without breaking the law of Moses,
Matthew 12:5 Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?

I have made:
Rather, "I have healed a whole man" ολον [Strong's G3650], ανθρωπον [Strong's G0444], and not the circumcised member only. This reasoning was in perfect accordance with the principles of the Jews. So Tanchuma, "Circumcision, which is performed on one of the 248 members of man, vacates the sabbath; how much more the whole body of a man!"
John 5:8-9 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. ... And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.
John 5:14-16 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee. ... And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.
