John 5:8-18
English Standard Version
8 Jesus said to him, (A)“Get up, take up your bed, and walk.” 9 (B)And at once the man was healed, and he took up his bed and walked.
(C)Now that day was the Sabbath. 10 So the Jews[a] said to the man who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath, and (D)it is not lawful for you to take up your bed.” 11 But he answered them, “The man who healed me, that man said to me, ‘Take up your bed, and walk.’” 12 They asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Take up your bed and walk’?” 13 Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for (E)Jesus had withdrawn, as there was a crowd in the place. 14 Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, “See, you are well! (F)Sin no more, (G)that nothing worse may happen to you.” 15 The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had healed him. 16 And this was why the Jews (H)were persecuting Jesus, (I)because he was doing these things on the Sabbath. 17 But Jesus answered them, “My Father is working until now, and I am working.”
Jesus Is Equal with God
18 This was why the Jews (J)were seeking all the more to kill him, (K)because not only was he (L)breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God (M)his own Father, (N)making himself equal with God.

John 5:8-18
New International Version
8 Then Jesus said to him, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.”(A) 9 At once the man was cured; he picked up his mat and walked.
The day on which this took place was a Sabbath,(B) 10 and so the Jewish leaders(C) said to the man who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath; the law forbids you to carry your mat.”(D)
11 But he replied, “The man who made me well said to me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’ ”
12 So they asked him, “Who is this fellow who told you to pick it up and walk?”
13 The man who was healed had no idea who it was, for Jesus had slipped away into the crowd that was there.
14 Later Jesus found him at the temple and said to him, “See, you are well again. Stop sinning(E) or something worse may happen to you.” 15 The man went away and told the Jewish leaders(F) that it was Jesus who had made him well.
The Authority of the Son
16 So, because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jewish leaders began to persecute him. 17 In his defense Jesus said to them, “My Father(G) is always at his work(H) to this very day, and I too am working.” 18 For this reason they tried all the more to kill him;(I) not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.(J)
