“And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.”
So the Jews said to the man who had been healed, 'It is the Sabbath; the law forbids you to carry your mat.' — the Jewish objection is not to the healing per se but to the carrying of the mat, which constitutes work. The law (Torah) permits carrying on the Sabbath only in specific contexts; the authorities challenge whether healing justifies this exception.
