Joe: Alright, so what do you got for us in John 5?

Bible Expert: John 5 is one of the more interesting chapters of the Bible. It tells the story of Jesus healing a man who had been unable to walk for 38 years.

Joe: 38 years?! That's insane! How did Jesus do it?

Bible Expert: Well, Jesus said to the man, “Pick up your mat and walk.” And he did! He was immediately healed.

Joe: Wow! That's incredible! What happened next?

Bible Expert: The man went to the temple to give thanks, but the Jews were not happy because it was the Sabbath and they thought Jesus had broken the law. They wanted to put Jesus on trial.

Joe: That sounds intense. What did Jesus do?

Bible Expert: Jesus defended himself by saying that God is always working and that He himself is God’s son.

Joe: Whoa, that's some heavy stuff. What happened after that?

Bible Expert: Jesus told them that He was the one that gives eternal life and that whoever believes in Him will have eternal life. He also said that whoever hears His voice and believes in Him will never perish.

Joe: That's pretty powerful stuff. Anything else we should know about John 5?

Bible Expert: Well, it's also significant because it's the first time that Jesus publicly reveals His true identity. It's a very important and powerful chapter in the Bible.
