There were at least two healing miracles that Jesus performed on the Sabbath.
One was the woman who had suffered from a blood disorder for 18 years (Luke 13:10-17) and the other was a man who was blind from birth (John 9). Both times, the leading Jews were FURIOUS and accused Jesus of breaking the Sabbath.
It's hard for me to understand how people who claim to love God could be so hard hearted. Here this woman was, in Luke 13, so disabled, she couldn't stand up straight but was doubled over because of pain...and this man who had been blind from birth...who had never seen the light of day... Jesus healed them both, and for that, they wanted to kill Him!
I think these stories show how hard hearted the leading Jews were (as a whole) and what JEALOUSY leads to. They were so jealous of the power Jesus had and of the influence He had over the common people, that they just couldn't/wouldn't see straight!
A good lesson for us to stay far away from JEALOUSY.
