The Jewish leaders did not like the fact that Jesus healed a paralyzed man on the Sabbath day.

John 5:1-13

5 Some time later, Jesus went up to Jerusalem when the Jews were having another celebration. 2 At one of the gates into the city called the Sheep Gate, there is a pool. In our language we call it Bethzatha. Around the pool were five open areas with roofs over them. 3-4 3-4Many people were lying there. They were people who were blind, lame, or paralyzed.[fn] 5 One of those who was there had been paralyzed for 38 years. 6 Jesus saw him lying there and found out that the man had been like that for a long time. He said to the man, “Do you want to become well?” 7 The paralyzed man replied to him, “Yes, sir, I want to get well, but there is no one to help me get down into the pool when the water is stirred {stirs}. While I am trying to get to the pool, someone else always gets there before me.” 8 Jesus said to him, “Get up! Then pick up your mat and walk!” 9 The man immediately was healed. He picked up his mat and started walking!

The day on which this happened was a Jewish day of rest. 10 So the Jewish leaders said to the man who had been healed, “Today is ◄the Sabbath/our rest day►, and in our Jewish laws it is written that people should not work on our ◄Sabbath/rest day►, so you should not be carrying your mat!” 11 The man replied to them, “The man who healed me, he himself said to me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk!’ ” 12 They asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Pick it up and walk!’?” 13 But since Jesus had disappeared in the crowd without telling the man his name, the man did not know who it was who had healed him.
