Whoever stepped in first after the stirring of the water was made whole of whatever disease he had. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/5-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>A certain man was there, who had been sick for thirty-eight years. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/5-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had been sick for a long time, he asked him, "Do you want to be made well?" <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/5-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>The sick man answered him, "Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I'm coming, another steps down before me." <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/5-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>Jesus said to him, "Arise, take up your mat, and walk." <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/5-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>Immediately, the man was made well, and took up his mat and walked. Now it was the Sabbath on that day. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/5-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>So the Jews said to him who was cured, "It is the Sabbath. It is not lawful for you to carry the mat." <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/5-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>He answered them, "He who made me well, the same said to me, 'Take up your mat, and walk.'" <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/5-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>Then they asked him, "Who is the man who said to you, 'Take up your mat, and walk'?" <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/5-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>But he who was healed didn't know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a crowd being in the place. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/5-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, "Behold, you are made well. Sin no more, so that nothing worse happens to you." <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/5-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.</p> <p class="hdg">The Father and the Son</p><p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/john/5-16.htm"><b>16</b></a></span>For this cause the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill him, because he did these things on the Sabbath. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/5-17.htm"><b>17</b></a></span>But Jesus answered them, "My Father is still working, so I am working, too."</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/john/5-18.htm"><b>18</b></a></span>For this cause therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the Sabbath, but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/john/5-19.htm"><b>19</b></a></span>Jesus therefore answered them, "Most certainly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father doing. For whatever things he does, these the Son also does likewise. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/5-20.htm"><b>20</b></a></span>For the Father has affection for the Son, and shows him all things that he himself does. He will show him greater works than these, that you may marvel. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/5-21.htm"><b>21</b></a></span>For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom he desires. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/5-22.htm"><b>22</b></a></span>For the Father judges no one, but he has given all judgment to the Son, <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/5-23.htm"><b>23</b></a></span>that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father.
