Now that day was Sabbath. So the Jewish (leaders) said to the man who had been healed ‘It is Sabbath, so it is not permitted for you to carry your mat.’ But he answered them ‘The one who made me well – he said to me “Take your mat and walk.”‘ They asked him ‘Who is the man who said to you “Take it and walk”?’ Now the man who had been healed did not know who he was, for Jesus had disappeared into the crowd that had been there.
Some time after this Jesus found him in the temple grounds, and said to him ‘Look, you are now well, do not sin any longer, in case anything worse happens to you. ‘
The man left and reported to the Jewish leaders that it was Jesus who had made him well.
Thank you, dear Jesus,
for all you have given me,
for all you have taken away from me,
for all you have left me.
Thomas More (c.1478-1535)
