- 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!" "Jesusª saithª° unto him,ª Rise,ª° take upª° thyª bed,ª andª walk.ª° ... Andª immediatelyª the¹ manª was madeª° whole,ª andª took upª° hisª bed,ª andª walked:ª° andª onª the¹ sameª dayª wasª° the sabbath.ª" {Jhn 5:8-9} + "Afterwardªª Jesusª findethª° himª inª the¹ temple,ª andª saidª° unto him,ª Behold,ª thou art madeª° whole:ª sinª° no more,ª lestª a worse¹ thingª² comeª° unto thee.ª ... Andª thereforeªª did²° the¹ Jewsª persecuteª° Jesus,ª andª soughtª° to slayª° him,ª becauseª he had doneª° these thingsª onª the sabbath day.ª" {Jhn 5:14-16}
