John 5
1 After these things was the feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up into Jerusalem.
After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 And there is a pool at the sheep-market, called in Hebrew Bethzatha, 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 them a multitude of the sick, blind, lame, withered, were lying down.
In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.
For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.
5 And a certain man was there, being thirty-eight years in his infirmity;
And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.
6 Jesus seeing him lying down, and knowing that he already has much time, says to him; Do you wish to be whole?
When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?
7 The sick man responded to Him, Lord, I have no man that may put me in the pool, when the water may be troubled: and while I come, another goes 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 And Jesus says to him, Arise, take thy bed, and walk about.
Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
9 And the man was made whole, and he took up his bed and continued to walk about. And it was the Sabbath on that day.
And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.
10 Then the Jews were saying to the healed man, It is the Sabbath, and it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.
The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.
11 He responded to them, the one having made me whole, He said to me, Take thy bed, and walk about.
He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.
12 They asked him, Who is the man who said to thee, Take thy bed, and walk about?
Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?
13 And the sick man did not know who He is: for Jesus went out, the crowd being in the place.
And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.
14 And after these things, Jesus finds him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou hast been made whole: sin no more, lest something worse may come on thee.
Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.
15 And the man departed, and said to the Jews, that Jesus is the one having made him whole.
The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole.
16 And on account of this the Jews continued to persecute Jesus, because He was doing these things on the Sabbath.
And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.
17 And He responded to them, My Father worketh until now, and I work.
But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
18 Therefore the Jews the more sought to kill Him, because He not only broke the Sabbath, but said that God was His 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 Then Jesus responded and said to them, Truly, truly, I say unto you, The Son is not able to do anything Himself, unless He may see the Father doing it: for whatsoever He may do, the Son likewise also doeth the same.
Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
20 For the Father loveth the Son, and showeth Him all things which He doeth; and will show Him greater things than these, in order that you may be astonished.
For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.
21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead and createth life in them, so the Son also createth life in whom He will.
For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.
22 For the Father judgeth no one, for He hath given all judgment to the Son;
For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
23 in order that all may honor the Son, as they may honor the Father. He that honoreth not the Son honoreth not 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 which hath sent him.
24 Truly, truly, I say unto you, that every one hearing my word, and believing on Him that sent me hath eternal life, and doth not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life. (aiōnios g166)
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. (aiōnios g166)
25 Truly, truly, I say unto you, that the hour cometh and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and having heard will live.
Verily, verily, I say unto 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 hath life in Himself, so also He has given to His Son to have life also 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 hath given Him authority to execute the judgment, because He is the Son of man.
And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
28 Do not be astonished at this: because the hour cometh, in which all who are in their graves will hear His voice,
Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
29 and come forth; those having done good, unto the resurrection of life; and those having done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment.
And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
30 I am not able to do anything of myself: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is righteous; because I do not seek my own will, but the will of the One having sent me.
I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
31 If I testify concerning myself, my testimony is not true.
If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
32 There is another who testifieth concerning me; and you know that the testimony which He testifies concerning me is true.
There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.
33 You sent to John, and he witnessed to the truth:
Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.
34 but I do not receive the witness with man: but I speak these things that you may be saved.
But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.
35 He was a bright and shining light: and you were willing to rejoice for an hour in that 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 a testimony greater than that of John: for the works that the Father hath given me that I may perfect them, these works which I do, testify concerning me, that the Father hath 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 of me, that the Father hath sent me.
37 And the Father having sent me, He hath testified concerning me: never have you heard His voice, neither have you seen His face:
And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
38 and you have not His word abiding in you: because you do not believe Him whom He has sent.
And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.
39 Search the Scriptures, because in them ye think ye have eternal life; and they are they which testify concerning 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 you do not wish to come unto me, in order that you may have life.
And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
41 I do not receive glory with men;
I receive not honour from men.
42 but I know you that you have not the love of God in you.
But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
43 I have come in the name of my Father, and you do not receive me: if another may come in his own name, you will receive him.
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 are you able to believe, receiving glory from one another, and do not seek the glory which is with God only?
How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?
45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father; there is one accusing you, in whom you 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 you were believing Moses, you were believing me; for he wrote concerning me.
For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me.
47 For if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?
But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
