Numbers 5:5-10 and John 5:1-18 (New Living Translation)

NUMBERS 5:5-10
REPAYMENT FOR WRONGS DONE
5    Then the Lord said to Moses,
6    “Give the following instructions to the people of Israel: If any of the people—men or women—betray the Lord by doing wrong to another person, they are guilty.
7    They must confess their sin and make full restitution for what they have done, adding an additional 20 percent and returning it to the person who was wronged.
8    But if the person who was wronged is dead, and there are no near relatives to whom restitution can be made, the payment belongs to the Lord and must be given to the priest. Those who are guilty must also bring a ram as a sacrifice, and they will be purified and made right with the Lord.
9    All the sacred offerings that the Israelites bring to a priest will belong to him.
10  Each priest may keep all the sacred donations that he receives.”

JOHN 5:1-18
THE HEALING AT THE POOL
1    Afterward Jesus returned to Jerusalem for one of the Jewish holy days.
2    Inside the city, near the Sheep Gate, was the pool of Bethesda, with five covered porches.
3    Crowds of sick people—blind, lame, or paralyzed—lay on the porches.
5    One of the men lying there had been sick for thirty-eight years.
6    When Jesus saw him and knew he had been ill for a long time, he asked him, “Would you like to get well?”
7    “I can’t, sir,” the sick man said, “for I have no one to put me into the pool when the water bubbles up. Someone else always gets there ahead of me.”
8    Jesus told him, “Stand up, pick up your mat, and walk!”
9    Instantly, the man was healed! He rolled up his sleeping mat and began walking! But this miracle happened on the Sabbath,
10  so the Jewish leaders objected. They said to the man who was cured, “You can’t work on the Sabbath! The law doesn’t allow you to carry that sleeping mat!”
11  But he replied, “The man who healed me told me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’”
12  “Who said such a thing as that?” they demanded.
13  The man didn’t know, for Jesus had disappeared into the crowd.
14  But afterward Jesus found him in the Temple and told him, “Now you are well; so stop sinning, or something even worse may happen to you.” 
15  Then the man went and told the Jewish leaders that it was Jesus who had healed him.  
16  So the Jewish leaders began harassing Jesus for breaking the Sabbath rules.
17  But Jesus replied, “My Father is always working, and so am I.” 
18  So the Jewish leaders tried all the harder to find a way to kill him. For he not only broke the Sabbath, he called God his Father, thereby making himself equal with God.
