The Turker’s Gospel

The Bible According To Mechanical Turk Workers

John 5:11-20

John 5:11 - He answered by saying he that made me complete and whole, come walk with me and rest in my bed.

John 5:12 - They wanted to know, Who was it that told you, Go to your bed and walk?

John 5:13 - The man that was healed did not know who healed him: because Jesus had moved away from him, since so many people were there.

John 5:14 - Afterward, Jesus found him in the temple. Jesus said to him, Look, you have been healed. Do not sin again, for if you do, something worse might happen to you.

John 5:15 - The man left, and informed the Jews that Jesus was the one who had healed him.

John 5:16 - Hence the Jews persecuted Jesus and planned to kill him because he had done these deeds upon the sabbath day.

John 5:17
- However, Jesus responded, Up until recently, my Dad worked here. Now I work here.

John 5:18 - So the Jews were even more eager to kill him, not only for breaking the sabbath, but also for claiming that God was his Father, which made him God’s equal.

John 5:19 - Then Jesus told them, The son does nothing on his own. He only does what he has seen his father do. Whatever the father does, the son will follow his example.

John 5:20
- The Father loves his Son and so demonstrates for him everything that he does: he will indeed show him things even grander than these so you can awe.
