5:10

and so the Jews said to the man who had been healed, "It is the Sabbath; the law forbids you to carry your mat."

5:11

But he replied, "The man who made me well said to me, 'Pick up your mat and walk.' "

5:12

So they asked him, "Who is this fellow who told you to pick it up and walk?"

5:13

The man who was healed had no idea who it was, for Jesus had slipped away into the crowd that was there.

5:14

Later Jesus found him at the temple and said to him, "See, you are well again. Stop sinning or something worse may happen to you."

5:15

The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

5:16

So, because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jews persecuted him.

5:17

Jesus said to them, "My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I, too, am working."

5:18

For this reason the Jews tried all the harder to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.
