John 5:9-11

Contemporary English Version

⁹ Right then the man was healed. He picked up his mat and started walking around. The day on which this happened was a Sabbath.

^10 (A) When the Jewish leaders saw the man carrying his mat, they said to him, “This is the Sabbath! No one is allowed to carry a mat on the Sabbath.”

¹¹ But he replied, “The man who healed me told me to pick up my mat and walk.”
