John 5

1. Why do think Jesus asked the invalid man if he wanted to get well in the Gospel of John Chapter 5, verse 6?

2. In John 5:14 Jesus says, “Stop sinning or something worse may happen to you.” What do you think the man was doing?

3. According to Jewish law, what was the prescribed punishment for doing work on the Sabbath? Exodus 31:12-15. Why do you think the Sabbath law is so strict? What is it actually about?

4. List 2 things from the Gospel of John Chapter 5, verses 17-27 that God the Father has given the Son or authorized the Son to do.

5. Read Matthew 12:1-14. Why do you think Jesus healed on the Sabbath?

6. Do you think that we should observe the Sabbath today? If so, how? What do you do on the Sabbath?
