9The man was cured immediately, and took up his mat and began walking.
10Now it was the Sabbath. So the religious authorities said to the man who had been cured, “This is the Sabbath; you must not carry your mat.”
11“The man who cured me,” he answered, “said to me ‘Take up your mat and walk.’”
12“Who was it,” they asked, “that said to you ‘Take up your mat and walk’?”
13But the man who had been restored did not know who it was; for Jesus had moved away, because there was a crowd there.
14Afterward Jesus found the man in the Temple Courts, and said to him, “You are cured now; do not sin again, or something worse may happen to you.”
15The man went away, and told the authorities that it was Jesus who had cured him.
16And that was why they began to persecute Jesus — because he did things of this kind on the Sabbath.
17But Jesus replied, “My Father works to this very hour, and I work also.”
18This made the authorities all the more eager to kill him, because not only was he doing away with the Sabbath, but he actually called God his own Father — putting himself on an equality with God.
19So Jesus made this further reply, “In truth I tell you, the Son can do nothing of himself; he does only what he sees the Father doing; whatever the Father does, the Son does also.
20For the Father loves his Son, and shows him everything that he is doing; and he will show him still greater things — so that you will be filled with wonder.
21For, just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom he pleases.
22The Father himself does not judge any one, but has entrusted the work of judging entirely to his Son,
23so that everyone may honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. The person who does not honour the Son fails to honour the Father who sent him.
24In truth I tell you that the person who listens to my message and believes him who sent me, has eternal life, and does not come under condemnation, but has already passed out of death into life.
25In truth I tell you that a time is coming, indeed it is already here, when the dead will listen to the voice of the Son of God, and when those who listen will live.
26For, just as the Father has inherent life within him, so also he has granted to the Son to have inherent life within him;
