When Jesus healed on the Sabbath

[etothepii]

I was thinking of this. One trap set for Jesus was what he would do when coming upon the opportunity to heal on the Sabbath. As we know, he did it, which supposedly violated the rules.... Healing on the Sabbath was work, and one could not work on the Sabbath. My question about this has to do with the nature of healing.

When a miraculous healing occured in the Bible, it is my understanding that man was not the healer, but it was God. In creating this rule against healing on the Sabbath, does that indicate that the Jews viewed healing differently? Does it indicate blashemy, or at least thoughtlessness? Did the Jews give glory to God for healing, but man's part in it still constituted work? Is there maybe some other explaination why the ancient Jews would have considered healing to be work?

All I know about the miracles of Jesus is that the Mute man was explaining it to the Deaf girl and said to the Deaf girl, If you don't believe me, ask the Blind man he saw it all! Hallelujah......That's my Jesus!
