For as I am going, another descends ahead of me.” - 8 Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your stretcher, and walk.” - 9 And immediately the man was healed. And he took up his stretcher and walked. Now this day was the Sabbath. - 10 Therefore, the Jews said to the one who had been healed: “It is the Sabbath. It is not lawful for you to take up your stretcher.” - 11 He answered them, “The one who healed me, he said to me, ‘Take up your stretcher and walk.’” - 12 Therefore, they questioned him, “Who is that man, who said to you, ‘Take up your bed and walk?’” - 13 But the one who had been given health did not know who it was. For Jesus had turned aside from the crowd gathered in that place. - 14 Afterwards, Jesus found him in the temple, and he said to him: “Behold, you have been healed. Do not choose to sin further, otherwise something worse may happen to you.” - 15 This man went away, and he reported to the Jews that it was Jesus who had given him health. - 16 Because of this, the Jews were persecuting Jesus, for he was doing these things on the Sabbath.

Old Testament readings and the psalm are listed with a link to their chapter: the US Lectionary numbers some of their verses differently from the CPDV, so their text is not printed here.
