John 5:5-18

5And a certainG5100 manG444 wasG1510 there, who had beenG1510 thirtyG5144 and eightG3638 yearsG2094 in his infirmityG769. 6When JesusG2424 sawG3708 him lying, and knewG1097 that he had been now a long timeG5550 in that case, he saith unto him, Wouldest thou be made whole? 7The sickG770 manG444 answeredG611 him, SirG2962, I have no manG444, whenG3752 the waterG5204 is troubledG5015, to putG906 me into the poolG2861: but while I am comingG2064, another steppeth downG2597 before me. 8JesusG2424 saith unto him, AriseG1453, takeG142 up thy bed, and walkG4043. 9And straightway the manG444 wasG1510 made whole, and tookG142 up his bed and walkedG4043.

NowG1161 it wasG1510 the sabbathG4521 on that dayG2250. 10So the JewsG2453 saidG3004 unto him that wasG1510 cured, It isG1510 the sabbathG4521, and it isG1510 not lawfulG1832 for thee to takeG142 up thy bed. 11But he answeredG611 them, He that madeG4160 me whole, the sameG846 saidG3004 unto me, TakeG142 up thy bed, and walkG4043. 12They askedG2065 him, Who isG1510 the manG444 that saidG3004 unto thee, TakeG142 up thy bed, and walkG4043? 13But he that wasG1510 healedG2390 knew not who it wasG1510; for JesusG2424 had conveyed himself away, a multitudeG3793 beingG1510 in the placeG5117. 14Afterward JesusG2424 findeth him in the temple, and saidG3004 unto him, BeholdG2396, thou art made whole: sinG264 no moreG3371, lestG3361 a worse thingG3778 befall thee. 15The manG444 wentG565 awayG565, and toldG3004 the JewsG2453 that it wasG1510 JesusG2424 who had madeG4160 him whole. 16And for this cause the JewsG2453 persecutedG1377 JesusG2424, because he did these thingsG3778 on the sabbathG4521. 17But Jesus answeredG611 them, My FatherG3962 worketh even until nowG1161, and I workG2038. 18For this cause thereforeG3767 the JewsG2453 soughtG2212 the moreG3123 to killG615 him, because he not onlyG3440 brake the sabbathG4521, but alsoG2532 called GodG2316 his ownG2398 FatherG3962, makingG4160 himself equalG2470 with GodG2316.
