4. for an angel went down at certain times into the pool and stirred up the water. Whoever stepped in first after the stirring of the water was healed of whatever disease he had.
5. A certain man was there who had been sick for thirty-eight years.
6. When Yeshua saw him lying there, and knew that he had been sick for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to be made well?”
7. The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I’m coming, another steps down before me.”
8. Yeshua said to him, “Arise, take up your mat, and walk.”
9. Immediately, the man was made well, and took up his mat and walked.Now it was the Sabbath on that day.
10. So the Judeans said to him who was cured, “It is the Sabbath. It is not lawful for you to carry the mat.”
11. He answered them, “He who made me well, the same said to me, ‘Take up your mat and walk.’”
12. Then they asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Take up your mat and walk’?”
13. But he who was healed didn’t know who it was, for Yeshua had withdrawn, a crowd being in the place.
14. Afterward Yeshua found him in the temple, and said to him, “Behold, you are made well. Sin no more, so that nothing worse happens to you.”
15. The man went away, and told the Judeans that it was Yeshua who had made him well.
16. For this cause the Judeans persecuted Yeshua, and sought to kill him, because he did these things on the Sabbath.
17. But Yeshua answered them, “My Father is still working, so I am working, too.”
18. For this cause therefore the Judeans sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the Sabbath, but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God.
19. Yeshua therefore answered them, “Most certainly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father doing. For whatever things he does, these the Son also does likewise.
20. For the Father has affection for the Son, and shows him all things that he himself does. He will show him greater works than these, that you may marvel.
