John 5:9-18 Webster Bible Translation (WBT)

9. And immediately the man was healed, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.

10. The Jews therefore said to him that was cured, it is the sabbath; it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.

11. He answered them, He that healed me, the same said to me, Take up thy bed, and walk.

12. Then they asked him, What man is that who said to thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?

13. And he that was healed knew not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.

14. Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou art cured: sin no more, lest a worse thing come to thee.

15. The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had healed him.

16. And therefore the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath.

17. But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.

18. Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
