8Jesus says to him, “Get up, pick up your pallet and walk!”
9Immediately the man became well and picked up his pallet and started to walk!
10But that day was a Sabbath, so the Jews said to the one who had been healed: “It's the Sabbath! You aren't allowed to carry the pallet.”
11He answered them: “The one who made me well—He said to me, ‘Pick up your pallet and walk.’ ”
12So they asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Pick up your pallet and walk’?”
13But the man who was cured did not know who it was, because Jesus had disappeared, there being a crowd in the place.
14After these things Jesus found him in the temple and said to him: “See, you are well. Don't sin any more, so that something worse doesn't happen to you.”
15The man went off and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
16So because of this the Jews began persecuting Jesus and trying to kill Him, because He was doing these things on the Sabbath.
17But Jesus answered them, “Until now, my Father works, I also work.”
18So because of this they wanted to kill Him all the more, because He was not only breaking the Sabbath but was even saying that God was His own Father, making Himself equal with God!
19Then Jesus answered and said to them: “Most assuredly I say to you, the Son is not able to do anything from Himself, except something He sees the Father doing; because whatever things He does, precisely these the Son also does.
20For the Father loves the Son and shows Him everything that He Himself is doing; and He will show Him greater works than these, so that you may marvel.
21Now just as the Father raises the dead and gives life, just so the Son also gives life to whom He wishes.
22In fact the Father does not judge anyone but has committed all the judging to the Son,
23so that all will honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.
24“Most assuredly I say to you that the one listening to my word and believing on Him who sent me has eternal life; he will not go into judging but has moved out of the death into the Life.
25“Most assuredly I say to you that a time is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of the God, and those who listen will live.
26Because just as the Father has life in Himself, just so He gave to the Son also to have life in Himself;
27furthermore He gave Him the authority to pass judgment, because He is Son of Man.
28Do not marvel at this, because a time is coming in which all those in the graves will hear His voice
29and will come out—those who did good things into the resurrection of life, but those who practiced evil things into the resurrection of condemnation.
30I am not able to do anything from myself. As I hear, I judge, and my judging is just, because I do not seek my own will but the will of the Father who sent me.
31“If I testify about myself, my testimony is not valid.
32There is another who testifies about me, and I know that the testimony that He gives about me is true.
33You have sent to John and he has testified to the truth.
34Yet I do not accept the testimony from a man; but I say these things so that you may be saved.
35That man was a burning, shining lamp, and for a time you were willing to be glad in his light.
36But I have a greater testimony than John's, because the works that the Father gave me to complete—the very works that I am doing—they testify about me that the Father has sent me.
