John 5:1-18
\n1 After this there was a festival of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
\n2 Now in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate there is a pool, called in Hebrew Beth-zatha, which has five porticoes. 3 In these lay many invalids\u2014blind, lame, and paralyzed. 5 One man was there who had been ill for thirty-eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had been there a long time, he said to him, \u201cDo you want to be made well?\u201d 7 The sick man answered him, \u201cSir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; and while I am making my way, someone else steps down ahead of me.\u201d 8 Jesus said to him, \u201cStand up, take your mat and walk.\u201d 9 At once the man was made well, and he took up his mat and began to walk.
\nNow that day was a sabbath. 10 So the Jews said to the man who had been cured, \u201cIt is the sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry your mat.\u201d 11 But he answered them, \u201cThe man who made me well said to me, \u2018Take up your mat and walk.\u2019 \u201d 12 They asked him, \u201cWho is the man who said to you, \u2018Take it up and walk\u2019?\u201d 13 Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had disappeared in the crowd that was there. 14 Later Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, \u201cSee, you have been made well! Do not sin any more, so that nothing worse happens to you.\u201d 15 The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well. 16 Therefore the Jews started persecuting Jesus, because he was doing such things on the sabbath. 17 But Jesus answered them, \u201cMy Father is still working, and I also am working.\u201d 18 For this reason the Jews were seeking all the more to kill him, because he was not only breaking the sabbath, but was also calling God his own Father, thereby making himself equal to God.
