12. They asked him, “Who is the man who told you, ‘Take it up and walk’?”
13. The man who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away, since there was a crowd there.
14. After this Jesus found him in the temple area and said to him, “Look, you are well; do not sin any more, so that nothing worse may happen to you.”
15. The man went and told the Jews that Jesus was the one who had made him well.
16. Therefore, the Jews began to persecute Jesus because he did this on a sabbath.
17. But Jesus answered them, “My Father is at work until now, so I am at work.”
18. For this reason the Jews tried all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the sabbath but he also called God his own father, making himself equal to God.
19. Jesus answered and said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, a son cannot do anything on his own, but only what he sees his father doing; for what he does, his son will do also.
20. For the Father loves his Son and shows him everything that he himself does, and he will show him greater works than these, so that you may be amazed.
21. For just as the Father raises the dead and gives life, so also does the Son give life to whomever he wishes.
