Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

John 5
⁶ When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he already had been in that condition a long time, He said to him, "Do you want to be made well?"
⁷ The sick man answered Him, "Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; but while I am coming, another steps down before me."
⁸ Jesus said to him, "Rise, take up your bed and walk."
⁹ And immediately the man was made well, took up his bed, and walked. And that day was the Sabbath.
¹⁰ The Jews therefore said to him who was cured, "It is the Sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed."
¹¹ He answered them, "He who made me well said to me, ’Take up your bed and walk.’"
¹² Then they asked him, "Who is the Man who said to you, ’Take up your bed and walk’?"
¹³ But the one who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a multitude being in that place.
¹⁴ Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, "See, you have been made well. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you."
¹⁵ The man departed and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
¹⁶ For this reason the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill Him, because He had done these things on the Sabbath.
