Controversy Over the Sabbath

10

So the Jews said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath, and it is not lawful for thee to take up thy bed.

11

But he answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.

12

They asked him, Who is the man that said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?

13

But he that was healed knew not who it was; for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in the place.

14

Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing befall thee.

15

The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him whole.

16

And for this cause the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he did these things on the sabbath.
