Compare the situation to Mk 3:4-5
4 And he said to them, "Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save life or to kill?" But they were silent.
5 And he looked around at them with anger, grieved at their hardness of heart, and said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He stretched it out, and his hand was restored.

The anger is there but not at the afflicted man. It's against the Jews who would rather keep their strict law rather than see a person healed.

Look it up. Compassion.
