John 5:10First Nations VersionThe strict traditional Tribal Members saw the healed man carrying his bundle. “It is the Day of Resting,” they said to him. “Tribal law forbids you to carry your sleeping bundle.” See the chapter |
The headman of the gathering house was offended because Creator Sets Free (Jesus) had healed on the Day of Resting. He stood up and told the people, “Are there not six other days to do your work? Come on one of those days to be healed, not on the Day of Resting.” Creator Sets Free (Jesus) helped the woman back to her seat. He then turned to the headman with a look of sorrow mixed with anger on his face.
There he saw a man with a shriveled and useless hand. The Separated Ones (Pharisees) had been keeping a close eye on him. Then they saw him looking at the man with the useless hand. Trying to find a reason to accuse him, they asked, “Is it permitted to heal on the Day of Resting?” Creator Sets Free (Jesus) knew what they were scheming.
