Contradiction with Exodus 20:10
This verse commands rest on the Sabbath, while John 5:11 shows the healed man carrying his bed on the Sabbath, suggesting active work.
Exodus 20:10: But the seventh day [is] the sabbath of the LORD thy God: [in it] thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that [is] within thy gates:
Contradiction with Deuteronomy 5:14

Deuteronomy 5:14: But the seventh day [is] the sabbath of the LORD thy God: [in it] thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that [is] within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou.
Contradiction with Exodus 31:15
