John 7:23

“If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, etc.] As it was certain in many instances he did: that the law of Moses might not be broken; either the law concerning circumcision, which confirmed the law given to Abraham, and required it should be on the eighth day, let it fall when it would, even on a sabbath day; and therefore on that day, male children received circumcision, that that law might be kept, and not be broken: or else the law concerning the sabbath; and the sense be, if circumcision was administered on the sabbath day, “without breaking the law of Moses”, as some render the words, which commanded the observation of the sabbath, are ye angry at me; and pursue me with so much…”

“That the law of Moses should not be broken - In order that the law requiring it to be done at a specified time, though that might occur on the Sabbath, should be kept. Are ye angry ... - The argument of Jesus is this: “You yourselves, in interpreting the law about the Sabbath, allow a work of necessity to be done. You do that which is necessary as an ordinance of religion denoting separation from other nations, or external purity. As you allow this, you ought also, for the same reason, to allow that a man should be completely restored to health - that a work of much more importance should be done.” We may learn here that it would be happy for all if they would not condemn others in that…”

“that the law of Moses should not be broken: or, without breaking the law of Moses, Mat 12:5 I have made: Rather, "I have healed a whole man" ολον \[Strong's G3650\], ανθρωπον \[Strong's G444\], 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!" Joh 5:8, Joh 5:9, Joh 5:14-16 John 7:24”
