Jesus saith unto him, “Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.”

And straightway the man was made whole, and took up his bed and walked.

Now it was the sabbath on that day.

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

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

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

But he that was healed knew not who it was; for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in the place.  Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, “Behold, thou art made whole:  sin no more, lest a worse thing befall thee.”

The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him whole.  And for this cause the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he did these things on the sabbath.

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

For 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.

Jesus 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.  For the Father loveth the Son, and showeth him all things that himself doeth:  and greater works than these will he show him, that ye may marvel.  For as the Father raiseth the dead and giveth them life, even so the Son also giveth life to whom he will.  For neither doth the Father judge any man, but he hath given all judgment unto the Son; that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father.  He that honoreth not the Son honoreth not the Father that sent him.  Verily, 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.  Verily, 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.  For as the Father hath life in himself, even so gave he to the Son also to have life in himself:  and he gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man.  Marvel not at this:  for the hour cometh, in which all that are in the tombs shall hear his voice, and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment.
