John 5
1 After these things, there was a Jewish festival, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
After these things, was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up unto 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, at the Sheep-gate, a pool, which is called in Hebrew Bethzatha, —having, five porches.
3 In these lay a multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, or paralyzed.
In these, was lying a throng of them who were sick, —blind, lame, withered.
5 A certain man was there, who had been sick for thirty-eight years.
And there was a certain man there, who, for thirty-eight years, had continued in his sickness.
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, seeing, this one, lying, and taking note that now, a long time, had he continued, saith unto him—Desirest thou to be made, 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."
The sick man answered him—Sir! I have, no man, that, as soon as the water hath been troubled, might thrust me into the pool; but, while, I, am coming, another, before me, goeth down.
8 Jesus said to him, "Arise, take up your mat, and walk."
Jesus saith unto him—Rise! take up thy couch, and be walking.
9 Immediately, the man was made well, and took up his mat and walked. Now it was the Sabbath on that day.
And, straightway, the man was made well and took up his couch, and began 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."
The Jews, therefore, were saying, unto him who had been cured—It is, Sabbath; and it is not allowable for thee to take up thy couch: —
11 But he answered them, "The one who made me well, that one said to me, 'Take up your mat, and walk.'"
who, however, answered them—He that made me well, he, unto me, said—Take up thy couch, and be walking.
12 Then they asked him, "Who is the man who said to you to pick it up and walk?"
They questioned him—Who is the man that said unto thee, Take up [thy couch], and be walking?
13 But the one who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a crowd being in the place.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 healed one, knew not, who, it was; for, Jesus, had turned aside, a multitude, being 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 these things, Jesus findeth him, in the temple, and said unto him—See! thou hast become, well: —No more, be committing sin, lest, some worse thing, do thee befall.
15 The man went away, and told the Jewish leaders that it was Jesus who had made him well.
The man went away, and told the Jews, that it was, Jesus, who had made him well.
16 For this cause the Jewish leaders persecuted Jesus, because he did these things on the Sabbath.
And, on this account, were the Jews persecuting Jesus, because, these things, he had been doing, on Sabbath.
17 But he answered them, "My Father is still working, so I am working, too."
But, he, answered them—My Father, until even now, is working; and, I, am working.
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.
On this account, therefore, the rather, were the Jews seeking to slay him, —because, not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but was calling God, his own Father, making, himself, equal, 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.
Jesus, therefore, answered, and went on to say unto them—Verily, verily, I say unto you: The Son cannot be doing, of himself, a single thing, —save anything he may see, the Father, doing; for, whatsoever, he, may be doing, these things, the Son also, in like manner, doeth.
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, dearly loveth the Son, and, all things, pointeth out to him, which, himself, is doing; and, greater works than these, will he point out to him, that, ye, may marvel.
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 waketh up the dead, and quickeneth them, in like manner, the Son also, whom he pleaseth, doth quicken.
22 For the Father judges no one, but he has given all judgment to the Son,
For neither doth, the Father, judge anyone, —but, all the judging, hath given unto 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, all, may honour the Son, just as they honour the Father: he that doth not honour the Son, doth not, in fact, honour 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)
Verily, verily, I say unto you: He that heareth, my word, and believeth in him that sent me, hath life age-abiding, and, into judgment, cometh not, but hath passed over, 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.
Verily, verily, I say unto you: There cometh an hour, and now is, when, the dead, shall hearken unto the voice of the Son of God, and, they who have hearkened, 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, just as, the Father, hath life, in himself, in like manner, unto the Son also, hath he given, life, to have, in himself;
27 He also gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man.
And, authority, hath he given him, to be executing, judgment, —because, Son of Man, is he!
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 be marvelling at this: because there come an hour, in which, all they in the tombs, shall hearken unto 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 shall come forth, —they who, the good things, have done, unto a resurrection, of life; but, they who the corrupt things, have practised, unto a resurrection, of judgment.
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, cannot be doing, of myself, a single thing, —Just as I hear, I judge; and, my judging, is, just, —because I seek not my own will, but the will of him that sent me.
31 "If I testify about myself, my witness is not valid.
If, I, bear witness, concerning myself, my witness, is not, true.
32 It is another who testifies about me. I know that the testimony which he testifies about me is true.
Another, it is, who beareth witness concerning me, —and I know that, true, is the witness which he witnesseth concerning me.
33 You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.
Ye, have sent forth unto John, —and he hath borne 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.
I, however, not from man, my witness, receive; but, these things, I say, that, ye, may be saved: —
35 He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.
He, was the burning and shining lamp, and, ye, were willing to exult, for an hour, 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, as my witness, something greater than John’s; for, the works which the Father hath given me, that I should complete them, —the works themselves which I am doing, bear witness concerning 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 so, the Father who sent me, he, hath borne witness concerning me; Neither, a sound of him, at any time, have ye heard, nor, a form of him, have ye seen;
38 You do not have his word living in you; because you do not believe him whom he sent.
And, his word, ye have not, within you abiding—because, as touching him whom, he, sent, in him, ye, believe not.
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)
Ye search the Scriptures, because, ye, think, by them, to have, life age-abiding; and, those [Scriptures], are they which bear witness concerning me: (aiōnios g166)
40 But you are unwilling to come to me so that you may have life.
And yet ye choose not to come unto me, that, life, ye may have.
41 I do not receive glory from people.
Glory from men, am I not receiving; —
42 But I know you, that you do not have God's love in yourselves.
But I have taken knowledge of you, that, the love of God, ye have not, 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, have come, in the name of my Father, —and ye are not receiving me: 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, —Glory from one another, receiving; and, the glory which is from the only God, are not seeking?
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 think that, I, will accuse you unto the Father: There, is, who accuseth you, even, Moses, —on whom, ye, have set your hope.
46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote about me.
For, if ye had been believing, in Moses, ye would, in that case, have been believing, in me: for, concerning me, he wrote.
47 But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?"
But, if, in his writings, ye are not believing, how, in my sayings, will ye believe?
