John 9:16

* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

Because of this, some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for He does not keep the Sabbath.” But others said, “How can a sinful man perform such signs?” And there was division among them.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Some therefore of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, because he doesn’t keep the Sabbath.” Others said, “How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” There was division among them.
World English Bible (WEB)
Therefore{G3767} said{G3004}{(G5707)} some{G5100} of{G1537} the Pharisees{G5330}, This{G3778} man{G444} is{G2076}{(G5748)} not{G3756} of{G3844} God{G2316}, because{G3754} he keepeth{G5083}{(G5719)} not{G3756} the sabbath day{G4521}. Others{G243} said{G3004}{(G5707)}, How{G4459} can{G1410}{(G5736)} a man{G444} that is a sinner{G268} do{G4160}{(G5721)} such{G5108} miracles{G4592}? And{G2532} there was{G2258}{(G5713)} a division{G4978} among{G1722} them{G846}.
Strong's King James
(16) So some of the Pharisees said, "This isn't from אֱלֹהִים Elohim because He doesn't keep Shabbat!" Others said, "How can a man deviating-sinning do such signs?" And there was division among them.
The F.O.G*
[16] Division erupted among the Pharisees. Some declared, "This Jesus cannot be from God - He breaks the Sabbath law!" But others argued, "How could a sinner perform such miraculous signs?" Their rigid systems of belief were being challenged.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
Of the Pharisees, therefore, certain said, ‘This man is not from God, because the sabbath he doth not keep;’ others said, ‘How is a man—a sinful one—able to do such signs?’ and there was a division among them.
