Introduction123456789101112131415161718192021LukeActs John 5
The last of verse 3 and all of verse 4 is omitted in the best manuscripts. It has been inserted in the King James Version to let us know why that crowd of sick people were there. Today many folk are waiting for some mysterious moving. Notice Jesus did not offer to put him in the water, but said, "Get up. Pick up your mat. Walk!" (see verse 8). Because this was done on the Sabbath, it occasioned the final break with the religious rulers (verse 16). They understood perfectly that He was making Himself equal with God (verse 18).
