Also notable, in the Luke account of this healing, Jesus, intuiting that the Pharisees are in the active process of trying to find an excuse to have him killed says: “I ask you, is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save life or to destroy it?"

The Pharisees apparently had a problem with him healing this man on the Sabbath but saw nothing wrong with using God's day of rest to plot murder.
