John 5:10–16
10 So the Jews were saying to the one who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath, and it is not permitted for you to pick up the mat!”d 11 But he answered them, “The one who made me well—that one said to me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk!’ ” 12 So they asked him,e “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Pick up your mat* and walk?’ ” 13 But the one who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn while* a crowd was in the place.
14 After these things Jesus found him at the temple and said to him, “Look, you have become well! Sin no longer, lest something worse happen to you.” 15 The man went and reported to the Jews that Jesus was the one who made him well. 16 And on account of this the Jews began to persecute* Jesus, because he was doing these things on the Sabbath.

| * | In Greek the direct object (“your mat”) is not in the Greek text but the repetition is implied from the previous verse |
