THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO JOHN - Chapter 9 - Verse 28

Verse 28. Thou art his disciple. This they cast at him as a reproach. His defence of Jesus they regarded as proof that he was his follower, and this they now attempted to show was inconsistent with being a friend of Moses and his law. Moses had given the law respecting tho Sabbath; Jesus had healed a man contrary, in their view, to the law of Moses. They therefore held Jesus to be a violater and contemner of the law of Moses, and of course that his followers were also.

We are Moses' disciples. We acknowledge the authority of the law of Moses, which they alleged Jesus has broken by healing on that day.
