New International Reader's Version

John 5:9-14 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

9. At once the man was healed. He picked up his mat and walked. The day this happened was a Sabbath.

10. So the Jews said to the man who had been healed, "It is the Sabbath. The law does not allow you to carry your mat."

11. But he replied, "The one who made me well said to me, 'Pick up your mat and walk.' "

12. They asked him, "Who is this fellow? Who told you to pick it up and walk?"

13. The one who was healed had no idea who it was. Jesus had slipped away into the crowd that was there.

14. Later Jesus found him at the temple. Jesus said to him, "See, you are well again. Stop sinning, or something worse may happen to you."
