John 5

1 After this there 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 at Jerusalem by the sheep [market] a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue 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 great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.

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

4 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, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.

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

6 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?

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 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.

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 saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.

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

9 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the 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 unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry [thy] bed.

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 whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.

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

12 Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?

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

13 And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in [that] place.

But the diseased man knew not who it was; for Jesus had withdrawn himself, there being a crowd in the place.

14 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.

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 departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole.

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

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

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 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.

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 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.

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 loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.

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 as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth [them]; even so the Son quickeneth 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 the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:

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

23 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.

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, 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)

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, 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.

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

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

28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves 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 come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

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 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.

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 of myself, my witness is not true.

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

32 There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of 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 sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.

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

34 But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, 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 a burning and a shining light: 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 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.

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 himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor 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 believe not.

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

39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of 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 receive not honour 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 shall 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, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that [cometh] from God only?

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 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is [one] that accuseth you, [even] Moses, in 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 had ye 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 believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?

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