John 5
1 AFTER these things there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
After these things there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,
2 Now there is at Jerusalem near the sheep-market a pool, called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porticos.
and there is in Jerusalem by the sheep -[gate] a pool that is called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five porches,
3 In these lay a vast multitude of infirm persons, blind, lame, withered, waiting the motion of the water.
in these were lying a great multitude of the ailing, blind, lame, withered, waiting for the moving of the water,
4 For occasionally an angel descended into the pool, and put the water into commotion: he therefore who first stepped in after the commotion of the water became well, under whatever complaint he had laboured.
for a messenger at a set time was going down in the pool, and was troubling the water, the first then having gone in after the troubling of the water, became whole of whatever sickness he was held.
5 And there was a certain man there, who had a complaint of thirty years standing.
and there was a certain man there being in ailment thirty and eight years,
6 Jesus seeing him laid there, and knowing that he had been so for a long while, saith to him, Wilt thou be made sound?
him Jesus having seen lying, and having known that he is already a long time, he saith to him, 'Dost thou wish to become whole?'
7 The infirm man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is disturbed, to cast me into the pool: but when I am coming, another goeth down before me.
The ailing man answered him, 'Sir, I have no man, that, when the water may be troubled, he may put me into the pool, and while I am coming, another doth go down before me.'
8 Jesus saith to him, Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.
Jesus saith to him, 'Rise, take up thy couch, and be walking;'
9 And instantly the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked away: and that day was the sabbath.
and immediately the man became whole, and he took up his couch, and was walking, and it was a sabbath on that day,
10 The Jews therefore said to him that was cured, It is the sabbath: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.
the Jews then said to him that hath been healed, 'It is a sabbath; it is not lawful to thee to take up the couch.'
11 He answered them, He that made me whole, the same person said to me, Take up thy bed, and walk.
He answered them, 'He who made me whole — that one said to me, Take up thy couch, and be walking;'
12 Then they asked him, Who is the man that said to thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?
they questioned him, then, 'Who is the man who is saying to thee, Take up thy couch and be walking?'
13 Now he that was cured knew not who he was: for Jesus had slipped away, a crowd being on the spot.
But he that was healed had not known who he is, for Jesus did move away, a multitude being in the place.
14 After these things Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Take care; thou art made whole: sin no more, lest something worse befall thee.
After these things, Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said to him, 'Lo, thou hast become whole; sin no more, lest something worse may happen to thee.'
15 The man went, and informed the Jews, that it was Jesus who had made him whole.
The man went away, and told the Jews that it is Jesus who made him whole,
16 And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to kill him, because he had done these things on the sabbath-day.
and because of this were the Jews persecuting Jesus, and seeking to kill him, because these things he was doing on a sabbath.
17 Then Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
And Jesus answered them, 'My Father till now doth work, and I work;'
18 Therefore sought they the more to kill him, because he had not only broken the sabbath, but called God his own Father, setting himself on an equality with God.
because of this, then, were the Jews seeking the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the sabbath, but he also called God his own Father, making himself equal to God.
19 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing by himself, except what he hath seen the Father do: for whatsoever things he doeth, the same and in the same manner doth the Son.
Jesus therefore responded and said to them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, The Son is not able to do anything of himself, if he may not see the Father doing anything; for whatever things He may do, these also the Son in like manner doth;
20 For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things which he himself doeth: and greater works than these will he shew him, that ye may wonder.
for the Father doth love the Son, and doth shew to him all things that He himself doth; and greater works than these He will shew him, that ye may wonder.
21 For as the Father raiseth the dead, and quickeneth them; so also doth the Son quicken whom he pleases.
'For, as the Father doth raise the dead, and doth make alive, so also the Son doth make alive whom he willeth;
22 For the Father never judgeth any man, but hath committed all judgment to the Son:
for neither doth the Father judge any one, but all the judgment He hath given to the Son,
23 in order that all may honour the Son, just as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son, doth not honour the Father who sent him.
that all may honour the Son according as they honour the Father; he who is not honouring the Son, doth not honour the Father who sent him.
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, That he that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment; but is passed from death into life. (aiōnios g166)
'Verily, verily, I say to you — He who is hearing my word, and is believing Him who sent me, hath life age-during, and to judgment he doth not come, but hath passed out of the death to the life. (aiōnios g166)
25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, yea, it is now, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
'Verily, verily, I say to you — There cometh an hour, and it now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and those having heard shall live;
26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son also to have life in himself;
for, as the Father hath life in himself, so He gave also to the Son to have life in himself,
27 and hath given him authority also to execute judgment, because he is the Son of man.
and authority He gave him also to do judgment, because he is Son of Man.
28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in which all who are in the graves shall hear his voice,
'Wonder not at this, because there doth come an hour in which all those in the tombs shall hear his voice,
29 and they shall come forth; they who have done good actions to the resurrection of life; and they who have been guilty of foul practices, to the resurrection of damnation.
and they shall come forth; those who did the good things to a rising again of life, and those who practised the evil things to a rising again of judgment.
30 I am not able to perform any thing by myself: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; for I seek not my own will, but the will of my Father who sent me.
'I am not able of myself to do anything; according as I hear I judge, and my judgment is righteous, because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father who sent me.
31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
'If I testify concerning myself, my testimony is not true;
32 There is another who beareth witness of me, and I know that his witness is true which he witnesseth concerning me.
another there is who is testifying concerning me, and I have known that the testimony that he doth testify concerning me is true;
33 Ye sent to John, and he bore testimony to the truth.
ye have sent unto John, and he hath testified to the truth.
34 But I receive not testimony from man: but I speak these things, that ye may believe.
'But I do not receive testimony from man, but these things I say that ye may be saved;
35 He was a lamp glowing and luminous: and ye were pleased for a time to exult in his light.
he was the burning and shining lamp, and ye did will to be glad, for an hour, in his light.
36 But I have a testimony greater than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me that I should fulfil them, these very works which I am doing, they bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.
'But I have the testimony greater than John's, for the works that the Father gave me, that I might finish them, the works themselves that I do, they testify concerning me, that the Father hath sent me.
37 And the Father who sent me, himself hath borne witness concerning me. Ye have neither at any time heard his voice, nor seen his form.
'And the Father who sent me Himself hath testified concerning me; ye have neither heard His voice at any time, nor His appearance have ye seen;
38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.
and His word ye have not remaining in you, because whom He sent, him ye do not believe.
39 Search the scriptures; for ye suppose in them ye have eternal life: and these are they which testify of me. (aiōnios g166)
'Ye search the Writings, because ye think in them to have life age-during, and these are they that are testifying concerning me; (aiōnios g166)
40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
and ye do not will to come unto me, that ye may have life;
41 I receive not glory from men.
glory from man I do not receive,
42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
but I have known you, that the love of God ye have not in yourselves.
43 I have 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 the name of my Father, and ye do not receive me; if another may come in his own name, him ye will receive;
44 How can ye believe, who receiving honour one from another, seek not the honour which cometh from God alone?
how are ye able — ye — to believe, glory from one another receiving, and the glory that [is] from God alone ye seek not?
45 Do not suppose that I shall accuse you to my Father: there is one who is accusing you, even Moses, on whom ye place your hope.
'Do not think that I will accuse you unto the Father; there is who is accusing you, Moses — in whom ye have hoped;
46 For if ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for of me did he write.
for if ye were believing Moses, ye would have been believing me, for he wrote concerning me;
47 But if ye believe not his writings, how will ye believe my words?
but if his writings ye believe not, how shall ye believe my sayings?'
