8. Jesus said to him, "Get up, pick up your pallet and walk."
9. Immediately the man became well, and picked up his pallet and began to walk. Now it was the Sabbath on that day.
10. So the Jews were saying to the man who was cured, "It is the Sabbath, and it is not permissible for you to carry your pallet."
11. But he answered them, "He who made me well was the one who said to me, 'Pick up your pallet and walk.'"
12. They asked him, "Who is the man who said to you, 'Pick up your pallet and walk'?"
13. But the man who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away while there was a crowd in that place.
14. Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, "Behold, you have become well; do not sin anymore, so that nothing worse happens to you."
15. The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
16. For this reason the Jews were persecuting Jesus, because He was doing these things on the Sabbath.
17. But He answered them, "My Father is working until now, and I Myself am working."
18. For this reason therefore the Jews were seeking all the more to kill Him, because He not only was breaking the Sabbath, but also was calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.
19. Therefore Jesus answered and was saying to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father does, these things the Son also does in like manner.
