7The sick man answered, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I’m coming, another steps down before me.”
8Jesus told him, “Stand up, pick up your mat, and walk.”
9Immediately, the man was made well, took up his mat, and walked. That was on the Sabbath day.
10Therefore the Jews were telling him who was cured, “It’s the Sabbath, and it isn’t legal for you to carry your mat.”
11He answered them, “He who made me well told me, ‘Take up your mat and walk.’”
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.”
18Because of this, the Jews tried all the harder to kill Him. Not only was He breaking the Sabbath, but He was even calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.
19Then Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, unless He sees the Father do it, for whatever He does, the Son does likewise.
20The Father loves the Son, and shows Him everything that He Himself does. He will show Him even greater works than these, that you may marvel.
