Afterward Jesus found the man in the temple and said, Behold, thou art
made whole. Sin no more lest a worse thing comes to you. Then the man
left and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had healed him. Therefore,
the Jews persecuted Jesus. They wanted to slay Him because He had done
this on the sabbath day. But Jesus answered and said to them, My Father
works now, so I work.
Now the Jews wanted all the more to kill Him because He not only had
broken the sabbath but He also said that God was His Father, making
Himself equal to God. Jesus addressed this and said, The Son can do
nothing of Himself except what He sees the Father do. Whatever the
Father does, the Son does the same. For the Father loves the Son and
shows Him all the things that He Himself does. And He will show Him
even greater works than these. Just as the Father raises the dead and
gives life, so the Son gives life to whom He will. The Father judges no
man, but has turned over all judgment to the Son. This is so all men
honor the Son as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son
does not honor the Father who sent Him.
Verily, I say to you, He who hears my word and believes Him who sent me
has everlasting life and will not be condemned but will pass from death
to life. I tell you, The hour is coming, and is now, when the dead will
hear the voice of the Son of God.
