The synagogue leader was absolutely fuming because Jesus had healed someone on the Sabbath. He turned to the crowd and said, 'Look, there are six other days of the week when people are supposed to work. Come get healed on those days, not on the Sabbath.'

So some of the religious leaders were like, 'This guy can't be from God — he doesn't follow the sabbath rules.' But others pushed back: 'Wait, how could someone who's supposedly bad do these incredible miracles?' They couldn't agree and ended up totally split on what to think about Jesus.
