In context
7The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to lower me into the pool when the water is stirred; and while I am on my way, someone else gets down ahead of me.” 8Jesus said to him, “Get up, pick up your mat, and walk.” 9And the man was made well; he picked up his mat and began to walk. Now that day was the Sabbath, 10so the Jews said to the man who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath; you are not allowed to carry your mat.” 11He answered them, “The man who made me well — he is the one who told me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’”
