The Scriptures 1998

John 5:7-16 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

7. The sick man answered Him, “Master, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred, but while I am coming, another steps down before me.”

8. יהושע said to him, “Rise, take up your bed and walk.”

9. And immediately the man became well, and he took up his bed and was walking. Now it was Sabbath on that day.

10. The Yehuḏim therefore said to him who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath, it is not right for you to take up the bed.”

11. He answered them, “He who made me well said to me, ‘Take up your bed and walk.’ ”

12. Therefore they asked him, “Who is the Man who said to you, ‘Take up your bed and walk’?”

13. But the one who was healed did not know who it was, for יהושע had moved away, a crowd being in that place.

14. Afterward יהושע found him in the Set-apart Place, and said to him, “See, you have been made well. Sin no more, so that no worse matter befalls you.”

15. The man went away, and told the Yehuḏim that it was יהושע who made him well.

16. And because of this the Yehuḏim persecuted יהושע, and were seeking to kill Him, because He was doing these healings on the Sabbath.
