"Or have you not read in the law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath, and are blameless?

Jesus said to him, "Rise, take up your bed and walk."

And immediately the man was made well, took up his bed, and walked. And that day was the Sabbath.

Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, "See, you have been made well. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you."

For this reason the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill Him, because He had done these things on the Sabbath.
