I was thinking of the above verse tonight as I read it while out walking. The Pharisees were all up in arms because Jesus had just healed a man on the Sabbath. Jesus pointed out to them how they had no problem carrying out one of their religious customs on the Sabbath day, but when it came to having compassion on a man and healing him they totally missed it. This is what lead Him to make this statement.

John 7:24
