7. The invalid answered him: "Lord, I do not have any man to put me in the pool, when the water has been stirred. For as I am going, another descends ahead of me."
8. Jesus said to him, "Rise, take up your stretcher, and walk."
9. And immediately the man was healed. And he took up his stretcher and walked. Now this day was the Sabbath.
10. Therefore, the Jews said to the one who had been healed: "It is the Sabbath. It is not lawful for you to take up your stretcher."
11. He answered them, "The one who healed me, he said to me, 'Take up your stretcher and walk.' "
12. Therefore, they questioned him, "Who is that man, who said to you, 'Take up your bed and walk?' "
13. But the one who had been given health did not know who it was. For Jesus had turned aside from the crowd gathered in that place.
14. Afterwards, Jesus found him in the temple, and he said to him: "Behold, you have been healed. Do not choose to sin further, otherwise something worse may happen to you."
15. This man went away, and he reported to the Jews that it was Jesus who had given him health.
16. Because of this, the Jews were persecuting Jesus, for he was doing these things on the Sabbath.
17. But Jesus answered them, "Even now, my Father is working, and I am working."
18. And so, because of this, the Jews were seeking to kill him even more so. For not only did he break the Sabbath, but he even said that God was his Father, making himself equal to God.
19. Then Jesus responded and said to them: "Amen, amen, I say to you, the Son is not able to do anything of himself, but only what he has seen the Father doing. For whatever he does, even this does the Son do, similarly.
