John 7:21-23
Contemporary English Version
21 Jesus answered:
I worked one miracle,[a] and it amazed you. 22 (A) Moses commanded you to circumcise your sons. But it wasn't really Moses who gave you this command. It was your ancestors, and even on the Sabbath you circumcise your sons 23 (B) in order to obey the Law of Moses. Why are you angry with me for making someone completely well on the Sabbath?

John 7:21-23
New International Version
21 Jesus said to them, “I did one miracle,(A) and you are all amazed. 22 Yet, because Moses gave you circumcision(B) (though actually it did not come from Moses, but from the patriarchs),(C) you circumcise a boy on the Sabbath. 23 Now if a boy can be circumcised on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses may not be broken, why are you angry with me for healing a man’s whole body on the Sabbath?
