John 5:9-16

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.
