Gospel John 5:1-16

• 1After these things, there was a feast day of the Jews, and so Jesus ascended to Jerusalem.

• 2Now at Jerusalem is the Pool of Evidence, which in Hebrew is known as the Place of Mercy; it has five porticos.

• 3Along these lay a great multitude of the sick, the blind, the lame, and the withered, waiting for the movement of the water.

• Some verses are not read.

• 5And there was a certain man in that place, having been in his infirmity for thirty-eight years.

• 6Then, when Jesus had seen him reclining, and when he realized that he had been afflicted for a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be healed?”

• 7The invalid answered him: “Lord, I do not have any man to put me in the pool, when the water has been stirred. For as I am going, another descends ahead of me.”

• 8Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your stretcher, and walk.”

• 9And immediately the man was healed. And he took up his stretcher and walked. Now this day was the Sabbath.

• 10Therefore, 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.”

• 11He answered them, “The one who healed me, he said to me, ‘Take up your stretcher and walk.’”

• 12Therefore, they questioned him, “Who is that man, who said to you, ‘Take up your bed and walk?’”

• 13But 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.

• 14Afterwards, 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.”

• 15This man went away, and he reported to the Jews that it was Jesus who had given him health.

• 16Because of this, the Jews were persecuting Jesus, for he was doing these things on the Sabbath.
