John 5:10-20

¹⁰Therefore the Jews said to the man who was healed, “It is the Sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed.”

¹¹He answered them, “He that made me whole, He said to me, ‘Take up your bed and walk.’ ”

¹²Then they asked him, “Who is the Man who said to you, ‘Take up your bed and walk’?”

¹³But the one who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had turned aside, while a crowd was in that place.

¹⁴After these things Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, “Behold, you have become well. Sin no more, lest something worse happens to you.”

¹⁵The man went away and reported to the Jews that Jesus was the One who had made him well.

¹⁶And on account of this the Jews began to persecute Jesus, and were seeking to kill Him, because He was doing these things on the Sabbath.

¹⁷But Jesus answered them, “My Father has been working until now, and I am working.”

¹⁸Because of this the Jews were seeking all the more to kill Him, because not only was He breaking the Sabbath, but also He called God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.

¹⁹Then Jesus answered and said to them, “Most assuredly I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father doing; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.

²⁰For the Father loves the Son, and shows to Him all things which He Himself does; and greater works than these He will show Him, so that you may marvel.
