JOHN 5:9-26

⁹And straightway the man was made whole, and took up his bed and walked. Now it was the sabbath on that day.

¹⁰So the Jews said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath, and it is not lawful for thee to take up thy bed.

¹¹But he answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.

¹²They asked him, Who is the man that said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?

¹³But he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in the place.

¹⁴Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing befall thee.

¹⁵The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus which had made him whole.

¹⁶And for this cause did the Jews persecute Jesus, because he did these things on the sabbath.

¹⁷But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh even until now, and I work.

¹⁸For this cause therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only brake the sabbath, but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God.

¹⁹Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father doing: for what things soever he doeth, these the Son also doeth in like manner.

²⁰For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and greater works than these will he shew him, that ye may marvel.

²¹For as the Father raiseth the dead and quickeneth them, even so the Son also quickeneth whom he will.

²²For neither doth the Father judge any man, but he hath given all judgment unto the Son;

²³that all may honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which sent him.

²⁴Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth him that sent me, hath eternal life, and cometh not into judgment, but hath passed out of death into life.

²⁵Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour cometh, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God; and they that hear shall live.

²⁶For as the Father hath life in himself, even so gave he to the Son also to have life in himself:
