John 5
1 After these things, there was a Jewish festival, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
After these things there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 Now in Jerusalem by the sheep area there is a pool, which is called in Hebrew, "Beth Hesda," having five porches.
And there was there in Jerusalem a certain place of baptizing, which was called in Hebrew Bethesda; and there were in it five porches.
3 In these lay a multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, or paralyzed.
And in them were laid a great multitude of the sick, and the blind, and the lame, and the withered, waiting for the moving of the waters.
For an angel, from time to time, descended into the baptistery, and moved the waters; and he who first went in, after the moving of the waters, was cured of whatever disease he had.
5 A certain man was there, who had been sick for thirty-eight years.
And a certain man was there, who had been diseased thirty and eight years.
6 When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had been sick for a long time, he asked him, "Do you want to be made well?"
Jesus saw him lying, and knew that his disease had been a long time upon him, and said to him: Desirest thou to be healed?
7 The sick man answered him, "Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I am on my way, someone else steps down ahead of me."
And the sick man answered and said: Yes, my lord; but I have no one who, when the water is moved, will put me into the baptistery; but while I am coming, another descendeth before me.
8 Jesus said to him, "Arise, take up your mat, and walk."
Jesus said to him: Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.
9 Immediately, the man was made well, and took up his mat and walked. Now it was the Sabbath on that day.
And immediately the man was healed; and he arose, took up his bed, and walked; and it was the sabbath day.
10 So the Jewish leaders said to him who was cured, "It is the Sabbath. It is not lawful for you to carry the mat."
And the Jews said to him that was healed: It is the sabbath; it is not lawful for thee to bear thy bed.
11 But he answered them, "The one who made me well, that one said to me, 'Take up your mat, and walk.'"
But he answered, and said to them: He that made me whole, he said to me, Take up thy bed and walk.
12 Then they asked him, "Who is the man who said to you to pick it up and walk?"
And they asked him: Who is the man that said to thee, Take up thy bed and walk?
13 But the one who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a crowd being in the place.
But the man that was healed, knew not who it was; for Jesus had slid away, in the great multitude that was in the place.
14 Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, "See, you are made well. Sin no more, so that nothing worse happens to you."
After a time, Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him: Lo, thou art healed; sin not again, lest something worse come upon thee than before.
15 The man went away, and told the Jewish leaders that it was Jesus who had made him well.
And the man went and told the Jews, that it was Jesus who had cured him.
16 For this cause the Jewish leaders persecuted Jesus, because he did these things on the Sabbath.
And for this cause the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill him; because he had done these things on the sabbath.
17 But he answered them, "My Father is still working, so I am working, too."
But Jesus said to them: My Father worketh until now, and I work.
18 For this cause therefore the Jewish leaders sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the Sabbath, but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God.
And for this, the Jews sought the more to kill him, not only because he had broken the sabbath, but because he had said of God, that he was his Father, and had equalled himself with God.
19 Jesus therefore answered them, "Truly, truly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father doing. For whatever things he does, these the Son also does likewise.
And Jesus answered, and said to them: Verily, verily, I say to you: The Son can do nothing, of his own pleasure, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things the Father doeth, these in like manner doeth the Son.
20 For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all things that he himself does. He will show him greater works than these, so that you may marvel.
For the Father loveth his Son, and showeth him every thing he doeth: and greater works than these, will he show him, that ye may wonder.
21 For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom he desires.
For as the Father raiseth the dead, and vivifieth them; so also the Son vivifieth whom he pleaseth.
22 For the Father judges no one, but he has given all judgment to the Son,
For neither doth the Father judge any one, but hath given all judgment to the Son:
23 that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.
that every man may honor the Son, as he honoreth the Father. He that honoreth not the Son, honoreth not the Father that sent him.
24 "Truly, truly, I tell you, he who hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has everlasting life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life. (aiōnios g166)
Verily, verily, I say to you, That he who heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath life eternal, and will not come into condemnation, but hath passed from death to life. (aiōnios g166)
25 Truly, truly, I tell you, the hour comes, and now is, when the dead will hear the Son of God's voice; and those who hear will live.
Verily, verily, I say to you, That the hour cometh, and even now come, 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, even so he gave to the Son also to have life in himself.
For, as the Father hath life in himself, so hath he given to the Son also, to have life in himself:
27 He also gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man.
and hath moreover given him authority to execute judgment. But that he is the Son of man,
28 Do not be amazed at this, for the hour comes, in which all that are in the tombs will hear his voice,
wonder not at this; for the hour cometh when all that are in their graves will hear his voice;
29 and will come out; those who have done good, to the resurrection of life; and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment.
and will come forth; they that have done good, to the resurrection of life, and they that have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.
30 I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous; because I do not seek my own will, but the will of the One who sent me.
I can do nothing of my own pleasure; but as I hear, so I judge. And my judgment is just; for I seek not my own pleasure, but the pleasure of him that sent me.
31 "If I testify about myself, my witness is not valid.
If I should bear testimony respecting myself, my testimony would not be valid.
32 It is another who testifies about me. I know that the testimony which he testifies about me is true.
There is another that beareth testimony concerning me; and I know that the testimony which he beareth concerning me is true.
33 You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.
Ye sent unto John; and he bore testimony to the truth.
34 But the testimony which I receive is not from man. However, I say these things that you may be saved.
And I have not received testimony from men: but these things I say, that ye may live.
35 He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.
He was a burning and shining lamp; and ye were willing for a time, to glory in his light.
36 But the testimony which I have is greater than that of John, for the works which the Father gave me to accomplish, the very works that I do, testify about me, that the Father has sent me.
But I have a testimony, which is greater than that of John; for the works which my Father hath given me to accomplish, these works which I do, testify of me that the Father hath sent me.
37 The Father himself, who sent me, has testified about me. You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.
And the Father who sent me, he testifieth of me. Ye have not at any time heard his voice, nor have ye seen his visage.
38 You do not have his word living in you; because you do not believe him whom he sent.
And his word abideth not in you, because ye believe not in him whom he hath sent.
39 You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have everlasting life; and these are they which testify about me. (aiōnios g166)
Search the scriptures; for in them, ye think, there is life eternal for you; and they testify of me. (aiōnios g166)
40 But you are unwilling to come to me so that you may have life.
And ye are unwilling to come to me, that life eternal may be yours.
41 I do not receive glory from people.
I do not receive glory from men.
42 But I know you, that you do not have God's love in yourselves.
But I know you, that the love of God is not in you.
43 I have come in my Father's name, and you do not receive me. If another comes in his own name, you will receive him.
I came in the name of my Father, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
44 How can you believe, who receive glory from one another, and you do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?
How can ye believe, who receive glory from one another, and seek not the glory which cometh from God only?
45 "Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you, even Moses, on whom you have set your hope.
Do ye suppose, that I shall accuse you before the Father? There is one that will accuse you, that Moses, on whom ye rely.
46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote about me.
For, if ye believed Moses, ye would also believe me; for Moses wrote concerning me.
47 But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?"
But if ye believe not his writings, how will ye believe my words?
