Therefore some of the Pharisees were saying, "This Man is not from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath." Others said, "How can a sinful man do such signs?" And there was a division among them.

This [man] came to Him by night and said to Him, "Rabbi, we know that You have come from God [as] a teacher; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him."

And now I say to you, keep away from these men and let them alone; for if the counsel or this work is of men, it will come to nothing;

but if it is of God, you cannot overthrow it--lest you even be found to fight against God."
