Yochanan 5:7-17 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

7. In reply, the choleh (sick one) said, Adoni, I have no one, when the mayim is disturbed, to put me into the pool. While I am coming, someone steps into the pool ahead of me.

8. Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to him, Rise up, take your mat and walk.

9. And immediately the man received his refu'ah (healing) and took his mat and was walking around. And that day was Shabbos.

10. So those of Yehudah were saying to the one having been granted refu'ah (healing), It is Shabbos, so it is asur (prohibited), it is chillul Shabbos [desecration of Shabbat] for you to carry your mat. [NECHEMYAH 13:15 22; YIRMEYAH 17:21]

11. But the man in reply said to them, The one having given me refu'ah, that one said to me, Take up your mat and walk!

12. They asked him, Who is haIsh (the man) telling you to take up your mat and walk?

13. But the one having been granted refu'ah (healing) did not have da'as who it is, for Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach slipped away, there being a multitude in the place.

14. After these things Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach finds him in the Beis Hamikdash, and said to him, Hinei, you have received your refu'ah. No longer commit averos, for fear that something worse happen to you.

15. The man went away and reported to the Yehudim that Yehoshua is the one having granted him his refu'ah,

16. And, because of this, those of Yehudah brought redifah (persecution) upon Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, because these things he was doing on Shabbos.

17. But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach in reply, said to them, Avi until now is working and I am working. [BERESHIS 2:3]
