⁸ Jesus said to him, ^(A)“Rise, take up your bed and walk.”

⁹ And immediately the man was made well, took up his bed, and walked.

And ^(A)that day was the Sabbath.

¹⁰ The Jews therefore said to him who was cured, “It is the Sabbath; ^(A)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¹³ But the one who was ^(A)healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a multitude being in that place.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. ^(A)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.

Honor the Father and the Son

¹⁶ For this reason the Jews ^(A)persecuted Jesus, ^[a]and sought to kill Him, because He had done these things on the Sabbath.
