John 5:1-16

John 5:1-16

1
After this, there was a Judean festival; and Yeshua went up to Yerushalayim.
2
In Yerushalayim, by the Sheep Gate, is a pool called in Aramaic, Beit-Zata,
3
in which lay a crowd of invalids — blind, lame, crippled.
4
5
One man was there who had been ill for thirty-eight years.
6
Yeshua, seeing this man and knowing that he had been there a long time, said to him, “Do you want to be healed?”
7
The sick man answered, “I have no one to put me in the pool when the water is disturbed; and while I’m trying to get there, someone goes in ahead of me.”
8
Yeshua said to him, “Get up, pick up your mat and walk!”
9
Immediately the man was healed, and he picked up his mat and walked. Now that day was Shabbat,
10
so the Judeans said to the man who had been healed, “It’s Shabbat! It’s against Torah for you to carry your mat!”
11
But he answered them, “The man who healed me — he’s the one who told me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’”
12
They asked him, “Who is the man who told you to pick it up and walk?”
13
But the man who had been healed didn’t know who it was, because Yeshua had slipped away into the crowd.
14
Afterwards Yeshua found him in the Temple court and said to him, “See, you are well! Now stop sinning, or something worse may happen to you!”
15
The man went off and told the Judeans it was Yeshua who had healed him;
16
and on account of this, the Judeans began harassing Yeshua because he did these things on Shabbat.
