After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.

In these lay a great multitude of sick people, blind, lame, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.

For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was healed of whatever disease he had.
And a certain man was there, who had an infirmity thirty and eight years.
6 ⲋ̅ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉϥ⳿ⲛⲕⲟⲧ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲧⲁϥ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ϫⲉ ⲁϥⲉⲣ ⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲭⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲭⲟⲩⲱϣ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ.
When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith to him, Wilt thou be healed?

The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.
Jesus saith to him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
9 ⲑ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲥⲁⲧⲟⲧϥ ⲁϥⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲱⲗⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥϭⲗⲟϫ ⲁϥⲙⲟϣⲓ ⲛⲉ ⳿ⲡⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲟⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ.
And immediately the man was healed, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.

The Jews therefore said to him that was cured, It is the sabbath: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.
He answered them, He that healed me, the same said to me, Take up thy bed, and walk.
Then they asked him, What man is that who said to thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?
And he that was healed knew not who it was: for Jesus had withdrawn himself, a multitude being in that place.
14 ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ ⲙⲉⲛⲉⲛⲥⲁ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥϫⲉⲙϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲉⲣⲫⲉⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ϩⲏⲡⲡⲉ ⲁⲕⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲣⲉⲣⲛⲟⲃⲓ ϫⲉ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙ ⲡⲉⲧϩⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϩⲟⲩⲟ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲕ.
Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou art cured: sin no more, lest a worse thing come to thee.
The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, who had healed him.
And therefore the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath.
But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh until now, and I work.

Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.

Then answered Jesus and said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, The Son can do nothing by himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for whatever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.

For the Father loveth the Son, and showeth him all things that himself doeth: and he will show him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.

For as the Father raiseth the dead, and giveth life to them; even so the Son giveth life to whom he will.
For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment to the Son:

That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father who hath sent him.

Verily, verily, I say to you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but hath passed from death to life. (aiōnios g166)

For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.

I can of my own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father who hath sent me.
If I bear witness concerning myself, my witness is not true.
There is another that beareth witness concerning me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth concerning me is true.
Ye sent to John, and he bore witness to the truth.
But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye may be saved.

Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. (aiōnios g166)
And ye will not come to me, that ye may have life.
I receive not honour from men.
But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.

Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.
For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote concerning me.
But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
