John 5:8-19

⁸Jesus saith to him: Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.

⁹And immediately the man was made whole: and he took up his bed, and walked. And it was the sabbath that day.

¹⁰The Jews therefore said to him that was healed: It is the sabbath; it is not lawful for thee to take up thy bed.

¹¹He answered them: He that made me whole, he said to me, Take up thy bed, and walk.

¹²They asked him therefore: Who is that man who said to thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?

¹³But he who was healed, knew not who it was; for Jesus went aside from the multitude standing in the place.

¹⁴Afterwards, Jesus findeth him in the temple, and saith to him: Behold thou art made whole: sin no more, lest some worse thing happen to thee.

¹⁵The man went his way, and told the Jews, that it was Jesus who had made him whole.

¹⁶Therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, because he did these things on the sabbath.

¹⁷But Jesus answered them: My Father worketh until now; and I work.

¹⁸Hereupon therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he did not only break the sabbath, but also said God was his Father, making himself equal to God.

¹⁹Then Jesus answered, and said to them: Amen, amen, I say unto you, the Son cannot do any thing of himself, but what he seeth the Father doing: for what things soever he doth, these the Son also doth in like manner.
