Yochanan 5
1 After these things, there was a Jewish festival, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
After this 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.
Now there is in Jerusalem a pool near the Sheep-gate, called in the Hebrew, Bethesda.
3 In these lay a multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, or paralyzed.
It has five colonnades. In these there used to lie a great crowd of sick people - blind, lame, paralyzed.
5 A certain man was there, who had been sick for thirty-eight years.
And there was one man there for thirty-eight years in his infirmity.
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?"
When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had been there a long time, he said to him, "Do you want to get well?"
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."
"Sir," answered the sick man, "I have no man to put me into the pool whenever the water is troubled; and while I am trying to come, some one else steps down before me."
8 Jesus said to him, "Arise, take up your mat, and walk."
"Rise," said Jesus, "take up your bed and go walking away."
9 Immediately, the man was made well, and took up his mat and walked. Now it was the Sabbath on that day.
Instantly the man became well, and he took up his bed and started to walk. Now it was Sabbath on that 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."
so the Jews kept saying to the man who had been cured. "It is the Sabbath Day; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed."
11 But he answered them, "The one who made me well, that one said to me, 'Take up your mat, and walk.'"
He replied, "The man who healed me told me to take up my bed and walk."
12 Then they asked him, "Who is the man who said to you to pick it up and walk?"
"Who is it," they asked, "that said to you, ‘take up your bed and go walking away’?"
13 But the one who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a crowd being in the place.
But he who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had moved away, as there was a crowd in that 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."
Afterward Jesus found him in the Temple, and said to him. "Look! You have become well. Do not go on sinning, lest a worse thing befall you."
15 The man went away, and told the Jewish leaders that it was Jesus who had made him well.
The man went to and told the Jews that it was Jesus who made him well;
16 For this cause the Jewish leaders persecuted Jesus, because he did these things on the Sabbath.
and because of this the Jews began to persecute Jesus, because he had done it on the Sabbath.
17 But he answered them, "My Father is still working, so I am working, too."
But he answered them, "My Father has continued working until now, and I am working too."
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.
For this reason the Jews continued to seek the more eagerly to put him to death, because not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was actually speaking of God as his own Father, thus making himself of God’s equal.
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.
So Jesus answered them in these words. "In solemn truth I tell that the Son cannot do anything of himself, except what he sees the Father doing; for whatever he does, that the Son does also.
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 loves the Son, and shows him every thing that he himself is doing. And greater deeds than these will he show him, that you 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 just as the Father raises the dead and makes them alive, even so the Son makes whom he will alive.
22 For the Father judges no one, but he has given all judgment to the Son,
"The Father indeed does not judge any one, but has 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.
"in order that all may honor the Son even as they honor the Father. He who does not honor Son, does not honor the Father who 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)
"I tell you solemnly that he who listens to my messages and believes Him who sent me, has eternal life. He will not come under condemnation, but has passed out of death into 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.
"Solemnly I tell you that the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear shall 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 has life in himself, so also has he granted to the Son to have life in himself.
27 He also gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man.
"And he has given him authority to pronounce judgment, because he is 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,
"Do not wonder at this, because an hour is coming in which all who are in their graves shall hear his voice and shall come forth again;
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.
"those who have done good into a resurrection of life, and those who have practised evil to a 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 of my own self do nothing. As I listen, I judge, and my own judgment is just, because I am not seeking my own will, but the will of Him who sent me.
31 "If I testify about myself, my witness is not valid.
"If I bear testimony concerning myself, my testimony is not valid.
32 It is another who testifies about me. I know that the testimony which he testifies about me is true.
"Another bears testimony to me, and I know that the testimony which he bears concerning me is valid.
33 You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.
"You yourselves sent to John, and he has been and is a witness to the truth.
34 But the testimony which I receive is not from man. However, I say these things that you may be saved.
"(Though for myself I accept no witness from man; I only mention that you may be saved.)
35 He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.
"That man was the Lamp-burning and shining - and you were willing for a time rejoice 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 testimony greater than that of John; for the work which the Father has given me to bring to completion - the work which I am doing - bears testimony concerning me, that the Father has 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 has himself borne testimony concerning me. None of you has heard his at any time or seen him,
38 You do not have his word living in you; because you do not believe him whom he sent.
nor had his word dwelling within you, because you do not believe him whom he 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)
"You are searching the Scriptures because you suppose that in tem you have eternal life; and though these are they that bear witness concerning me, (aiōnios g166)
40 But you are unwilling to come to me so that you may have life.
"you will not come to me that you may have life.
41 I do not receive glory from people.
"I am not receiving honor from men, but I know you,
42 But I know you, that you do not have God's love in yourselves.
"that you have not the love of God in yourselves.
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 am come in the name of my Father and you do not receive me. If another comes in his own name, him you 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 you believe when you receive glory from, one another, and have no desire for the glory which comes from the only God?
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 not imagine that I shall accuse you to the Father. Moses is your accuser, on whom you build your hopes.
46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote about me.
"For if you believed Moses you would believe me, for he wrote about me.
47 But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?"
And if you do not believe his writings, how will you ever believe my words?"
