John 5

1 After these things there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

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

2 Now there is in Jerusalem by the place pertaining to sheep, a pool, which is called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five porches.

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

3 In these lay a great multitude of those who are feeble, blind, lame, withered, waiting for the movement of the water.

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

4 For an agent went down at a certain time into the pool, and agitated the water. Therefore the first man who stepped in after the agitation of the water became well from whatever affliction he had.

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.

5 And a certain man was there who was thirty-eight years in the weakness.

And a certain man was there, who had an infirmity thirty and eight years.

6 When Jesus saw this man lying down, and knew that he fares now a long time, he says to him, Do thou desire to become well?

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?

7 The infirmed man answered him, Sir, I have no man so that when the water is agitated he might put me into the pool, but while I am coming another steps down before me.

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.

8 Jesus says to him, Arise, take up thy bed and walk.

Jesus saith to him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.

9 And straightaway the man became well, and took up his bed and walked. Now it was sabbath on that day.

And immediately the man was healed, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.

10 The Jews therefore said to the man who was cured, It is sabbath. It is not permitted for thee to take up the bed.

The Jews therefore said to him that was cured, It is the sabbath: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.

11 He answered them, The man who made me well, that man said to me, Take up thy bed and walk.

He answered them, He that healed me, the same said to me, Take up thy bed, and walk.

12 Therefore they asked him, Who is the man who said to thee, Take up thy bed and walk?

Then they asked him, What man is that who said to thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?

13 But the man who was healed had not known who he is, for Jesus withdrew, a multitude being in the place.

And he that was healed knew not who it was: for Jesus had withdrawn himself, a multitude being in that place.

14 After these things Jesus finds him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou have become well. Sin no more, lest something worse may happen to thee.

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.

15 The man departed and reported to the Jews that Jesus is the man who made him well.

The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, who had healed him.

16 And because of this the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill him, because he did these things on a sabbath.

And therefore the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath.

17 But Jesus answered them, My Father works until now and I work.

But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh until now, and I work.

18 Because of this therefore the Jews sought even more to kill him, because not only did he relax the sabbath, but also he called God his own Father, making himself equal to God.

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.

19 Jesus therefore answered and said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of himself, except what he sees the Father doing. For whatever he may do, the Son also does these things in like manner.

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.

20 For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all things that he himself does. And he will show him works greater than these, so that ye may marvel.

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.

21 For as the Father raises up the dead and makes alive, so also the Son makes alive whom he will.

For as the Father raiseth the dead, and giveth life to them; even so the Son giveth life to whom he will.

22 For neither does the Father judge any man, but he has given all judgment to the Son,

For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment to the Son:

23 so that all would honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. The man not honoring the Son, does not honor the Father who sent him.

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.

24 Truly, truly, I say to you, that he who hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has eternal life. And he does not come into condemnation, but has passed from death into life. (aiōnios g166)

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)

25 Truly, truly, I say to you, that an hour comes, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.

Verily, verily, I say to you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.

26 For as the Father has life in himself, so also he gave to the Son to have life in himself.

For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;

27 And he also gave him authority to execute judgment because he is a son of man.

And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.

28 Marvel not at this, because an hour comes in which all those in the sepulchers will hear his voice,

Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,

29 and will come forth, those who have done right to a resurrection of life, and those who have practiced wrong to a resurrection of judgment.

And shall come forth; they that have done good, to the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, to the resurrection of damnation.

30 I can from myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge. And my judgment is righteous because I seek not my will, but the will of the Father who sent me.

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.

31 If I testify about myself, my witness is not valid.

If I bear witness concerning myself, my witness is not true.

32 There is another who testifies about me, and I know that the testimony that he testifies about me is valid.

There is another that beareth witness concerning me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth concerning me is true.

33 Ye have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.

Ye sent to John, and he bore witness to the truth.

34 But I do not take the testimony from man. However, I say these things, so that ye may be saved.

But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye may be saved.

35 That man was the lamp that burns and shines, and ye were willing to rejoice for an hour in his light.

He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.

36 But I have testimony greater than of John, for the works that the Father has given me so that I might complete them, the same works that I do, they testify about me that the Father has sent me.

But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness concerning me, that the Father hath sent me.

37 And the Father, he who sent me, has testified about me. Ye have neither heard his voice, nor have ever seen his appearance.

And the Father himself, who hath sent me, hath borne witness concerning me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.

38 And ye have not his word dwelling in you, because ye do not believe that man whom he sent for this.

And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.

39 Ye search the scriptures, because ye think to have eternal life in them, and those are testifying about me. (aiōnios g166)

Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. (aiōnios g166)

40 And ye will not come to me, so that ye may have life.

And ye will not come to me, that ye may have life.

41 I do not receive glory from men.

I receive not honour from men.

42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God within yourselves.

But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.

43 I have come in my Father's name, and ye do not accept me. If another man should come in his own name, ye will accept that man.

I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.

44 How can ye believe, who receive glory from each other, and seek not the glory from the only God?

How can ye believe, who receive honour one from another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?

45 Think not that I will accuse you to the Father. The man who accuses you is Moses, in whom ye have hoped.

Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.

46 For if ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me, for that man wrote about me.

For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote concerning me.

47 But if ye believe not the writings of that man, how will ye believe my sayings?

But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
