John

John 5:14–17

¹⁴Afterward, Jesus found the man at the temple and said to him, “See, you have been made well. Stop sinning, or something worse may happen to you.”

¹⁵And the man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

¹⁶Now because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jews began to persecute Him. ¹⁷But Jesus answered them, “To this very day My Father is at His work, and I too am working.”
