So ^(C1)the Jews were saying to the man who was cured, "It is a Sabbath, and ^(C2)it is not permissible for you to carry your pallet."

But he answered them, "He who made me well was the one who said to me, 'Pick up your pallet and walk.'"

They asked him, "Who is the Man who said to you, 'Pick it up and walk'?"

But the man who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away while there was a crowd in that place.

Afterward, Jesus ^(*)found him in the temple and said to him, "Behold, you have become well; do not ^(C1)sin anymore, ^(C2)so that nothing worse happens to you."

The man went away, and informed ^(C1)the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

For this reason ^(C1)the Jews were persecuting Jesus, because He was doing these things on a Sabbath.

But He answered them, "My Father ^(F1)is working until now, and I Myself am working."

For this reason therefore ^(C1)the Jews ^(C2)were seeking all the more to kill Him, because He not only was breaking the Sabbath, but also was calling God His own Father, ^(C3)making Himself equal with God.
