John 5:15

¹³ But the man who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away while the crowd was there.

¹⁴ 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.”

And the man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

¹⁶ Now because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jews began to persecute Him.

¹⁷ But Jesus answered them, “To this very day My Father is at His work, and I too am working.”

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
