"I, Jesus, am the Creator... And as the Creator, I am the Lord of the Sabbath... The Religious Leaders of My day did not understand who I was.... That is why they never approved of My activities.... They should have recognised Me... But most of them never did... They claimed to know the Scriptures.... But they proved they did not.... Otherwise they would have known I can perform miracles at any day of the week I choose to do them, including the Sabbath... Their Traditions blinded them to the truth that I was the Messiah they had been waiting for even though I performed all the miracles the Messiah was to perform."... Please read the typed out attachment when you will learn that Jesus is the Lord of the Sabbath....

Matthew gives us some insight into why Jesus is performing miracles on the Sabbath when he writes in Matthew 12:8

For the Son of Man (Jesus) is the Lord of the Sabbath.

Jesus as the Lord of the Sabbath is not bound by the religious rules of men, even if these men are the Religious Leaders of His day. And these men are so bound up by their religious rules and regulations that they are not able to recognise that this miracle of the man born blind has been performed by a Man sent by God. This whole event leaves these Religious Leaders totally confused.
