dc.description.abstract<p>John 5:18 is typically translated, “For this reason the Jews were seeking all the more to kill him [Jesus], because he was not only <em>breaking</em> the sabbath . . .” (NRSV; emphasis added). This reading, found in both the King James and the New King James versions of the Bible, naturally leads to a question: Did Jesus really break the Sabbath?</p>
