John 5

Jesus heals a man invalid for thirty-eight years at the Pool of Bethesda (Βηθεσδά) in Jerusalem on the Sabbath, commanding him to take up his mat and walk, which sparks controversy with Jewish leaders over Sabbath violation[1][2][5]. Jesus defends his authority, asserting unity with the Father (ὁ Πατήρ), equal works and judgment, testimonies from John the Baptist, his miracles, the Father, and Moses' writings, while rebuking unbelief and predicting resurrection of life and judgment[1][3][4].
