John 5:16

but those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint.

Therefore we don’t faint, but though our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by day.

Let’s not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up.

The Jews answered him, “We don’t stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy: because you, being a man, make yourself God.”

Yahweh says, “Be careful, and bear no burden on the Sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem.

Jesus said to them, “Most certainly, I tell you, before Abraham came into existence, I AM.”

Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.

Therefore lift up the hands that hang down and the feeble knees,

You have perseverance and have endured for my name’s sake, and have not grown weary.

But the house of Israel will not listen to you, for they will not listen to me; for all the house of Israel are obstinate and hard-hearted.

They sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that you are honest, and teach the way of God in truth, no matter whom you teach, for you aren’t partial to anyone.

They sent some of the Pharisees and the Herodians to him, that they might trap him with words.

But he, passing through the middle of them, went his way.

A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher.

For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.

Immediately, the man was made well, and took up his mat and walked. Now it was the Sabbath on that day.

that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who doesn’t honor the Son doesn’t honor the Father who sent him.

They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.

I and the Father are one.”

The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.”

Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

When he was cursed, he didn’t curse back. When he suffered, he didn’t threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously.

“Six days you shall work, but on the seventh day you shall rest: in plowing time and in harvest you shall rest.

“ ‘Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation; you shall do no kind of work. It is a Sabbath to Yahweh in all your dwellings.

Moses commanded us a law, an inheritance for the assembly of Jacob.

“Awake, sword, against my shepherd, and against the man who is close to me,” says Yahweh of Armies. “Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered; and I will turn my hand against the little ones.

Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

“A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his lord.

But the Pharisees, when they saw it, said to him, “Behold, your disciples do what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath.”

But the Pharisees went out, and conspired against him, how they might destroy him.

The ruler of the synagogue, being indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the multitude, “There are six days in which men ought to work. Therefore come on those days and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day!”

For this cause therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the Sabbath, but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God.

After these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee, for he wouldn’t walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.

Most certainly, I tell you, if a person keeps my word, he will never see death.”

Therefore they took up stones to throw at him, but Jesus was hidden, and went out of the temple, having gone through the middle of them, and so passed by.

Most certainly I tell you, a servant is not greater than his lord, neither is one who is sent greater than he who sent him.

But they, when they heard this, were cut to the heart, and were determined to kill them.

You received the law as it was ordained by angels, and didn’t keep it!”

pursued, yet not forsaken; struck down, yet not destroyed;

who, existing in the form of God, didn’t consider equality with God a thing to be grasped,

who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and drove us out, and don’t please God, and are contrary to all men,

looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

You have forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you as with children, “My son, don’t take lightly the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when you are reproved by him;

He showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb,

“Six days you shall do your work, and on the seventh day you shall rest, that your ox and your donkey may have rest, and the son of your servant, and the alien may be refreshed.

and shall tell them, “Hear, Israel, you draw near today to battle against your enemies. Don’t let your heart faint! Don’t be afraid, nor tremble, neither be scared of them;

Stay with me. Don’t be afraid, for he who seeks my life seeks your life. For you will be safe with me.”

In those days I saw some men treading wine presses on the Sabbath in Judah, bringing in sheaves, and loading donkeys; also with wine, grapes, figs, and all kinds of burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the Sabbath day; and I testified against them in the day in which they sold food.

My son, don’t despise Yahweh’s discipline, neither be weary of his correction;

My son, keep my words. Lay up my commandments within you.

The Lord Yahweh has given me the tongue of those who are taught, that I may know how to sustain with words him who is weary. He awakens morning by morning, he awakens my ear to hear as those who are taught.

And behold there was a man with a withered hand. They asked him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath day?” that they might accuse him.

The Pharisees said to him, “Behold, why do they do that which is not lawful on the Sabbath day?”

When he had looked around at them with anger, being grieved at the hardening of their hearts, he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand was restored as healthy as the other.

He warned them, saying, “Take heed: beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod.”

They tried to seize him, but they feared the multitude; for they perceived that he spoke the parable against them. They left him, and went away.

He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “Simon, are you sleeping? Couldn’t you watch one hour?

Go your ways. Behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves.

Their eyes were opened and they recognized him, then he vanished out of their sight.

So the Jews said to him who was cured, “It is the Sabbath. It is not lawful for you to carry the mat.”

Jesus answered, “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say that he is our God.

Therefore Jews took up stones again to stone him.

Jesus answered him, “If a man loves me, he will keep my word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our home with him.

You heard how I told you, ‘I go away, and I come to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I said ‘I am going to my Father;’ for the Father is greater than I.

Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his lord.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours.

For I will show him how many things he must suffer for my name’s sake.”

Now about that time, King Herod stretched out his hands to oppress some of the assembly.

We toil, working with our own hands. When people curse us, we bless. Being persecuted, we endure.

Therefore seeing we have this ministry, even as we obtained mercy, we don’t faint.

Consider what I say, and may the Lord give you understanding in all things.

Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession: Jesus,

For consider him who has endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, that you don’t grow weary, fainting in your souls.

In this love has been made perfect among us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, because as he is, even so we are in this world.

“I know your works (behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one can shut), that you have a little power, and kept my word, and didn’t deny my name.

‘Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be a holy day for you, a Sabbath of solemn rest to Yahweh: whoever does any work in it shall be put to death.

Then he told the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out; and it was restored whole, just like the other.

The Pharisees went out, and immediately conspired with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.

But some of the Pharisees said to them, “Why do you do that which is not lawful to do on the Sabbath day?”

But they were filled with rage, and talked with one another about what they might do to Jesus.

But he who was healed didn’t know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a crowd being in the place.

Didn’t Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill me?”

Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, “Isn’t this he whom they seek to kill?

It was a Sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.

They sought again to seize him, and he went out of their hand.
