relationship to man; a sin to avoid,
promise to trust, example to follow, command to obey, truth to believe):
1.Jesus heals a man at the pool of Bethesda on the
Sabbath (John 5:1-16)
Principle: God’s
good deeds are not limited by the clock or calendar.
2.Jesus defends against the Jewish leaders’ persecution

speaks not to defend His actions, but so people will know the truth.

persecution.
