John 9:13-16

They brought to the Pharisees the man who had been blind. Now the day on which Jesus had made the mud and opened the man's eyes was a Sabbath. Therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. "He put mud on my eyes," the man replied, "and I washed, and now I see." Some of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God for he does not keep the Sabbath." But others asked, "How can a sinner perform such signs?" So they were divided. 

Now the day on which Jesus had made the mud and opened the man's eyes was a Sabbath
Matthew 12:1-2  At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry and began to pick some heads of grain and eat them. When the Pharisees saw this, they said to him, "Look! Your disciples are doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath."
Matthew 12:9-10  Going on from that place, he went into their synagogue, and a man with a shriveled hand was there. Looking for a reason to bring charges against Jesus, they asked him, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?"
John 5:9-10  At once the man was cured; he picked up his mat and walked. The day on which this took place was a Sabbath, and so the Jewish leaders said to the man who had been healed, "It is the Sabbath; the law forbids you to carry your mat."

Therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight 
John 9:10  "How then were your eyes opened?" they asked.

this man is not from God for he does not keep the Sabbath 
Exodus 10:9-10  "Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns."

How can a sinner perform such signs? 
John 3:2  He came to Jesus at night and said, "Rabbi, we know you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with him."

So they were divided 
John 10:19  The Jews who heard these words were again divided.
