And pick up his mat is what the man did. The problem was the man was a Jew and the Jewish law forbid the carrying of objects on the Sabbath. And this was a Sabbath. The man hadn’t gone very far before he was spotted by one of the Jewish leaders, who promptly told him that the law forbid what he was doing. “But, I just did what the man who healed me told me to do,” the man replied. “Who told you this,” they demanded. “I don’t know,” the man responded.
