John 5:1-18

¹ After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. ² Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongueBethesda, having five porches. ³ In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk , of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water. ⁴ For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had . ⁵ And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years. ⁶ When Jesus saw him lie , and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole? ⁷ The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled , to put me into the pool: but while I am coming , another steppeth down before me. ⁸ Jesus saith unto him, Rise , take up thy bed, and walk . ⁹ And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked : and on the same day was the sabbath. ¹⁰ The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured , It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed. ¹¹ He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk . ¹² Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk ? ¹³ And he that was healed wist not who it was : for Jesus had conveyed himself away , a multitude being in that place. ¹⁴ Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee. ¹⁵ The man departed , and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole. ¹⁶ And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day. ¹⁷ But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto , and I work . ¹⁸ Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
