7 “Sir,” the sick man answered, “I don’t have a man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I’m coming, someone goes down ahead of me.”
8 “Get up,” Jesus told him, “pick up your mat and walk! ”
9 Instantly the man got well, picked up his mat, and started to walk.Now that day was the Sabbath,
10 so the Jews said to the man who had been healed, “This is the Sabbath! It’s illegal for you to pick up your mat.”
11 He replied, “The man who made me well told me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’ ”
12 “Who is this man who told you, ‘Pick up your mat and walk’? ” they asked.
13 But the man who was cured did not know who it was, because Jesus had slipped away into the crowd that was there.
