John 5:6-19
-
6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?
-
7 The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.
-
8 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
-
9 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.
-
10 The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.
-
11 He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.
-
12 Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?
-
13 And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.
-
14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.
-
15 The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole.
-
16 And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.
-
17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
-
18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
-
19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
