John 5

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

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

2 Now there is in Jerusalem, at the sheepgate, a pool, which is called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches.

Now there is at Jerusalem, by the sheep-gate, a pool, which is called in Hebrew Bethzatha, having five porches.

3 In these lay a multitude of sick, blind, lame, withered, [awaiting the moving of the water.

In these were lying a multitude of diseased persons, blind, lame, withered.

4 For an angel descended at a certain season in the pool and troubled the water. Whoever therefore first went in after the troubling of the water became well, whatever disease he laboured under.]

5 But there was a certain man there who had been suffering under his infirmity thirty and eight years.

And a certain man was there, who had had his infirmity thirty-eight years.

6 Jesus seeing this [man] lying [there], and knowing that he was [in that state] now a great length of time, says to him, Wouldest thou become well?

Jesus saw this man lying there, and knowing that he had been for a long time diseased, saith to him, Dost thou wish to be made well?

7 The infirm [man] answered him, Sir, I have not a man, in order, when the water has been troubled, to cast me into the pool; but while I am coming another descends before me.

The diseased 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 goeth down before me.

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

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

9 And immediately the man became well, and took up his couch and walked: and on that day was sabbath.

And immediately the man was made well, and took up his bed, and walked. And that day was the sabbath.

10 The Jews therefore said to the healed [man], It is sabbath, it is not permitted thee to take up thy couch.

The Jews therefore said to him that was cured, It is the sabbath; and it is not lawful for thee to take up the bed.

11 He answered them, He that made me well, he said to me, Take up thy couch and walk.

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

12 They asked him [therefore], Who is the man who said to thee, Take up thy couch and walk?

hey asked him, Who is the man that said to thee, Take up, and walk?

13 But he that had been healed knew not who it was, for Jesus had slidden away, there being a crowd in the place.

But the diseased man knew not who it was; for Jesus had withdrawn himself, there being a crowd in the place.

14 After these things Jesus finds him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou art become well: sin no more, that something worse do not happen to thee.

Afterwards Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou art made well; sin no more, lest something worse befall thee.

15 The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

16 And for this the Jews persecuted Jesus [and sought to kill him], because he had done these things on sabbath.

And on this account the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he did these things on the sabbath.

17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto and I work.

But he answered them, My Father is working up to this time, and I work.

18 For this therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he had not only violated the sabbath, but also said that God was his own Father, making himself equal with God.

On this account the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only broke the sabbath, but also said that God was his own Father, making himself equal with God.

19 Jesus therefore answered and said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, The Son can do nothing of himself save whatever he sees the Father doing: for whatever things he does, these things also the Son does in like manner.

Then answered Jesus and said to them, Truly, truly do I say to you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father doing; for whatever He doeth, these things the Son also doeth in like manner;

20 For the Father loves the Son and shews him all things which he himself does; and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may wonder.

for the Father loveth the Son, and showeth him all things which he himself doeth; and greater works than these will he show him, so that ye will wonder.

21 For even as the Father raises the dead and quickens [them], thus the Son also quickens whom he will:

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

22 for neither does the Father judge any one, but has given all judgment to the Son;

For neither doth the Father judge any one, but hath committed all judgment to the Son;

23 that all may honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He who honours not the Son, honours not the Father who has sent him.

that all may honor the Son, as they honor the Father. He that honoreth not the Son, honoreth not the Father, who sent him.

24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, that he that hears my word, and believes him that has sent me, has life eternal, and does not come into judgment, but is passed out of death into life. (aiōnios g166)

Truly, truly do I say to you, He that heareth my word, and believeth him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and cometh not into condemnation, but hath passed out of death into life. (aiōnios g166)

25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, that an hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that have heard shall live.

Truly, truly do I say to you, The hour is coming and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and they that hear will live.

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

For as the Father hath life in himself, so did he give to the Son also to have life in himself.

27 and has given him authority to execute judgment [also], because he is Son of man.

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

28 Wonder not at this, for an hour is coming in which all who are in the tombs shall hear his voice,

Marvel not at this; for the hour is coming, in which all that are in the tombs will hear his voice,

29 and shall go forth; those that have practised good, to resurrection of life, and those that have done evil, to resurrection of judgment.

and will come forth, they that have done good, to a resurrection of life; they that have done evil, to a resurrection of condemnation.

30 I cannot do anything of myself; as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous, because I do not seek my will, but the will of him that has sent me.

I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will, but the will of him that sent me.

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

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

32 It is another who bears witness concerning me, and I know that the witness which he bears concerning me is true.

There is another who beareth witness of me; and ye know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.

33 Ye have sent unto John, and he has borne witness to the truth.

Ye have sent to John, and he hath borne witness to the truth.

34 But I do not receive witness from man, but I say this that ye might be saved.

But the testimony which I receive is not from man; but these things I say, that ye may be saved.

35 He was the burning and shining lamp, and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.

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

36 But I have the witness [that is] greater than [that] of John; for the works which the Father has given me that I should complete them, the works themselves which I do, bear witness concerning me that the Father has sent me.

But the testimony which I have, is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father hath given me to perform, the works themselves which I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.

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

And the Father who sent me, he hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.

38 and ye have not his word abiding in you; for whom he hath sent, him ye do not believe.

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

39 Ye search the scriptures, for ye think that in them ye have life eternal, and they it is which bear witness concerning me; (aiōnios g166)

Ye search the Scriptures, because ye yourselves think that in them ye have everlasting life; and it is they which testify of me; (aiōnios g166)

40 and ye will not come to me that ye might have life.

and ye are not willing to come to me, that ye may have life.

41 I do not receive glory from men,

I receive not honor from men;

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

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

43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not; if another come in his own name, him ye will receive.

I have come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not; if another come in his own name, him ye will receive.

44 How can ye believe, who receive glory one of another, and seek not the glory which [comes] from God alone?

How can ye believe while ye receive honor from one another, and seek not the honor that is from him who alone is God?

45 Think not that I will accuse you to the Father: there is [one] who accuses you, Moses, on whom ye trust;

Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye have placed your hope.

46 for if ye had believed Moses, ye would have believed me, for he wrote of me.

For if ye believed Moses, ye would believe me; for he wrote of me.

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

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