John 5:12-17

¹²Then they asked him, “Who told you to ‘Take up your mat and walk’?”

¹³The man who had been healed didn’t know who it was, because Jesus had disappeared into the crowd.

¹⁴Later, Jesus found him in the temple and told him, “See, you have been made well! Don’t sin any more, so that nothing worse happens to you.”

¹⁵The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

¹⁶For this reason, the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill Him, because He was doing these things on the Sabbath.

¹⁷Jesus answered them, “My Father is still working, so I am working, too.”
