Profane the Sabbath; do what would have profaned it, had not the appropriate duties of the Sabbath required that labor. The Saviour refers to the killing and dressing of the animals for sacrifice, and other labors connected with the daily temple service. In Joh 7:23, he specifies circumcision as another work performed on the Sabbath.

Blameless; without fault, because they did only what was proper on that day.
