John 5

1 After these things there was a celebration 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 and there is in Jerusalem by the sheep-[gate] a pool that 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 were lying a great multitude of the ailing, blind, lame, withered, [[waiting for the moving of the water,

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

4 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 being in ailment thirty-eight years,

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

6 him Jesus having seen lying, and having known that he is already a long time, He says to him, “Do you wish to become 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 ailing man answered Him, “Lord, I have no man, that, when the water may be troubled, he may put me into the pool, and while I am coming, another goes 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 says to him, “Rise, take up your pallet, and be walking”;

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

9 and immediately the man became whole, and he took up his pallet, and was walking, and it was a Sabbath on that day,

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

10 the Jews then said to him that has been healed, “It is a Sabbath; it is not lawful to you to take up the pallet.”

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 who made me whole—that One said to me, Take up your pallet, and be walking”;

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

12 they questioned him, then, “Who is the Man who is saying to you, Take up your bed and be walking?”

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

13 But he that was healed had not known who He is, for Jesus moved away, a multitude being 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, you have become whole; sin no more, lest something worse may happen to you.”

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 is Jesus who made him whole,

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

16 and because of this were the Jews persecuting Jesus, and seeking to kill Him, because these things He was doing on a Sabbath.

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

17 And Jesus answered them, “My Father works until now, and I work”;

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

18 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.

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 responded and said to them, “Truly, truly, 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 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 cherishes the Son, and shows to Him all things that He Himself does; and greater works than these He will show Him, that you 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 as the Father raises the dead, and makes alive, so also the Son makes alive whom He wills;

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 anyone, but all the judgment He has given to the Son,

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

23 that all may honor the Son according as they honor the Father; he who is not honoring the Son, does not honor the Father who 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 Truly, truly, I say to you, he who is hearing My word, and is believing Him who sent Me, has continuous life, and he does not come into judgment, but has 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 Truly, truly, I say to you, [that] there comes an hour, and it now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those having heard will 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 has life in Himself, so He gave also 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 authority He gave Him also to do judgment, because He is Son of Man.

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

28 Do not wonder at this, because there comes an hour in which all those in the tombs will 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 they will come forth; those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced evil things to a 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 am not able of Myself to do anything; according as I hear I judge, and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of the Father who 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 testify concerning Myself, My testimony is not true;

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

32 there is another who is testifying concerning Me, and I have known that the testimony that He testifies 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 you have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.

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

34 But I do not receive testimony from man, but these things I say that you may 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 you willed to be glad, for an hour, 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 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 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 sent Me has testified Himself concerning Me; you have neither heard His voice at any time, nor have you seen His appearance;

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 you do not have His word remaining in you, because you do not believe Him whom He sent.

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

39 You search the Writings, because you think in them to have continuous life, and these are they that are testifying 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 you do not will to come to Me, that you may have life;

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

41 I do not receive glory from man,

I receive not honor from men;

42 but I have known you, that you do not have the love of God in yourselves.

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, him you 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 are you able—you—to believe, receiving glory from one another, and the glory that [is] from God alone you do not seek?

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] who is accusing you, Moses—in whom you have hoped;

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 you were believing Moses, you would have been believing Me, for he wrote concerning Me;

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

47 but if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My sayings?”

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