While I am on my way, someone else goes in before me.”

10ⲛⲁⲩϫⲱ ⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁϥⲉⲣⲫⲁϧⲣⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲡⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲟⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲥϣⲉ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉⲱⲗⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲕϭⲗⲟϫ.so the Jews said to the man who had been healed, “This is the Sabbath! It is unlawful for you to carry your mat.”

14ⲙⲉⲛⲉⲛⲥⲁ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥϫⲉⲙϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲉⲣⲫⲉⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ϩⲏⲡⲡⲉ ⲁⲕⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲣⲉⲣⲛⲟⲃⲓ ϫⲉ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙ ⲡⲉⲧϩⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϩⲟⲩⲟ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲕ.Afterward, Jesus found the man at the temple and said to him, “See, you have been made well. Stop sinning, or something worse may happen to you.”

15ⲁϥϣⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥϫⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲧⲁϥ⳿ⲑⲣⲓⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ.And the man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

16ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲫⲁⲓ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲁⲩϭⲟϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⲛⲁϥ⳿⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲁⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲟⲛ.Now because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jews began to persecute Him.

17Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ϣⲁ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲡⲁⲓⲱⲧ ⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϩⲱ ϯⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ.But Jesus answered them, “To this very day My Father is at His work, and I too am working.”

18ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲫⲁⲓ ⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲛϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⲛⲁⲩⲕⲱϯ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱϥ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲑⲃⲉϥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲙⲟⲛⲟⲛ ⲛⲁϥⲃⲱⲗ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲟⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲁϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲫϯ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁⲓⲱⲧ ⲉϥ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲛϩⲓⲥⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲫϯ.Because of this, the Jews tried all the harder to kill Him. Not only was He breaking the Sabbath, but He was even calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.

19ⲁϥⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲁⲙⲏⲛ ⲁⲙⲏⲛ ϯϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ϣϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲡϣⲏⲣⲓ ⲉⲣ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲧϥ ⲁϥ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲫⲓⲱⲧ ⲉϥ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲫⲓⲱⲧ ⲣⲁ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲕⲉϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ.So Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing by Himself, unless He sees the Father doing it. For whatever the Father does, the Son also does.

20⳿ⲫⲓⲱⲧ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ϥⲙⲉⲓ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡϣⲏⲣⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ϥⲛⲁⲧⲁⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϩⲁⲛ⳿ϩⲃⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⲉⲩⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲓ ⳿ϥⲛⲁⲧⲁⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣ⳿ϣⲫⲏ ⲣⲓ.The Father loves the Son and shows Him all He does. And to your amazement, He will show Him even greater works than these.
