John 5:1-16
After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, in Hebrew called Bethzatha, which has five porticoes. In these lay a multitude of invalids, blind, lame, paralyzed. One man was there, who had been ill for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him and knew that he had been lying there a long time, he said to him, "Do you want to be healed?" The sick man answered him, "Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is troubled, and while I am going another steps down before me." Jesus said to him, "Rise, take up your pallet, and walk." And at once the man was healed, and he took up his pallet and walked. Now that day was the Sabbath. So the Jews said to the man who was cured, "It is the Sabbath, it is not lawful for you to carry your pallet." But he answered them, "The man who healed me said to me, `Take up your pallet, and walk.'" They asked him, "Who is the man who said to you, `Take up your pallet, and walk'?" Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, as there was a crowd in the place. Afterward, Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, "See, you are well! Sin no more, that nothing worse befall you." The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had healed him. And this was why the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he did this on the Sabbath.

Isa ka pagpakita nan gahum sanan presensiya nan gingharian ni God an milagro na taghimo ni Jesus sanan dinhi ‘sab sa mga signus sanan mga kahibuyungan na panhitabo, tagpa-tagamtam ni God an Ija gugma sanan kalooy sa Ija mga anak.
Hinkit’an nato dinhi an isa ka tawo an ija pagka-waya’y paglaum tagdaug gajud nan kalooy sanan gahum ni God.
Tagpukaw ni Jesus an paglaum nan tawo na hapit na mag-kuwarenta anyos an pag-antos sa ija sakit pinaagi sa pagpangutana lamang kon gusto ba gajud nija madajaw.
Isa ra ka mando ni Jesus sa tawo, nadajaw na sija sa ija sakit.
Gusto ‘sab ni God na ialingkawas kita sa gahum nan pagpakasaya para entero ra gihapon an ato pagkatawo, pero dili Sija mamugos dato kon modawat ba kita o dili nan Ija tag-offer dato.
An importante nato na himoon para kita molambo sanan madajaw, kinahanglan sinsero gajud an ato kagustuhan na magbag’o para andam kita modawat nan Ija mga grasya.
