John 5:10-18
10So the Jews said to him who was cured, "It is the Sabbath. It is not lawful for you to carry your mat."
11He answered them, "He who made me well, the same said to me, `Take up your mat, and walk.`"
12Then they asked him, "Who is the man who said to you, `Take up your mat, and walk`?"
13But he who was healed didn`t know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a crowd being in the place.
14Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, "Behold, you are made well. Sin no more, so that nothing worse happens to you."
15The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
16For this cause the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill him, because he did these things on the Sabbath.
17But Jesus answered them, "My Father is still working, so I am working, too."
18For this cause therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only broke the Sabbath, but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God.
