John 5:9-18 ▼

9 And immediately the man was cured: and he took up his bed and walked.

10 Now this was the sabbath-day, therefore the Jews said to him that was cured, It is the sabbath, it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.

11 He answered them, He, that made me well, said unto me, Take up thy bed and walk.

12 Therefore they asked him, Who is the man that said to thee, Take up thy bed and walk?

13 but he, that was healed, did not know who it was: for Jesus had withdrawn himself, there being many people in the place.

14 Afterwards Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou art healed; sin no more, least something worse befal thee.

15 And the man went away, and told the Jews, that it was Jesus who had healed him.

16 And for this did the Jews persecute Jesus, and endeavoured to put Him to death; because He had done these things on the sabbath- day.

17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh without intermission, and so do I.

18 For this therefore the Jews sought the more to kill Him, because He had not only broken the sabbath, but had also called God his own Father, making Himself equal with God.
