• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 11Were filled with madness - Probably, 1.Because he had shown his “power” to work a miracle. 2.Because he had shown his power to do it “contrary” to what “they” thought was right. 3.Because by doing it he had shown that he was from “God,” and that “they” were therefore “wrong” in their views of the Sabbath.
