John 5:8-14

Moffatt(i) 8 Jesus said to him, "Get up, lift your mat, and walk." 9 And instantly the man got well, lifted his mat, and started to walk. Now it was the sabbath on that day. 10 So the Jews said to the man who had been cured, "This is the sabbath, you have no right to be carrying your mat." 11 He replied, "But the man who healed me, he told me, 'Lift your mat and walk'." 12 They questioned him, "Who was it that told you, 'Lift it and walk'?" 13 Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for (owing to the crowd on the spot) Jesus had slipped away. 14 Later on Jesus met him in the temple, and said to him, "See, you are well and strong; commit no more sins, in case something worse befalls you."
