< John 5 >

1 After these things there was the feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
After that, there was a feast of the Iewes, and Iesus went vp to Hierusalem.
2 Now there is at Jerusalem, by the sheep-gate, a pool, which is called in Hebrew Bethzatha, having five porches.
And there is at Hierusalem by the place of the sheepe, a poole called in Ebrew Bethesda, hauing fiue porches:
3 In these were lying a multitude of diseased persons, blind, lame, withered.
In the which lay a great multitude of sicke folke, of blinde, halte, and withered, wayting for the mouing of the water.
4
For an Angel went downe at a certaine season into the poole, and troubled the water: whosoeuer then first, after the stirring of the water, stepped in, was made whole of whatsoeuer disease he had.
5 And a certain man was there, who had had his infirmity thirty-eight years.
And a certaine man was there, which had bene diseased eight and thirtie yeeres.
6 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?
When Iesus sawe him lie, and knew that he nowe long time had bene diseased, he saide vnto him, Wilt thou be made whole?
7 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.
The sicke man answered him, Sir, I haue no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the poole: but while I am comming, another steppeth downe before me.
8 Jesus saith to him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
Iesus said vnto him, Rise: take vp thy bed, and walke.
9 And immediately the man was made well, and took up his bed, and walked. And that day was the sabbath.
And immediatly the man was made whole, and tooke vp his bed, and walked: and the same day was the Sabbath.
10 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.
The Iewes therefore said to him that was made whole, It is the Sabbath day: it is not lawfull for thee to cary thy bed.
11 He answered them, He that made me well, the same said to me, Take up thy bed, and walk. T
He answered them, He that made me whole, he said vnto me, Take vp thy bed, and walke.
12 hey asked him, Who is the man that said to thee, Take up, and walk?
Then asked they him, What man is that which said vnto thee, Take vp thy bed and walke?
13 But the diseased man knew not who it was; for Jesus had withdrawn himself, there being a crowd in the place.
And he that was healed, knewe not who it was: for Iesus had conueied himselfe away from the multitude that was in that place.
14 Afterwards Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou art made well; sin no more, lest something worse befall thee.
And after that, Iesus founde him in the Temple, and said vnto him, Beholde, thou art made whole: sinne no more, lest a worse thing come vnto thee.
15 The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
The man departed and tolde the Iewes that it was Iesus, which had made him whole.
16 And on this account the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he did these things on the sabbath.
And therefore the Iewes did persecute Iesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the Sabbath day.
17 But he answered them, My Father is working up to this time, and I work.
But Iesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I worke.
18 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.
Therefore the Iewes sought the more to kill him: not onely because he had broken the Sabbath: but said also that God was his Father, and made himselfe equall with God.
19 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;
Then answered Iesus, and said vnto them, Verely, verely I say vnto you, The Sonne can doe nothing of himselfe, saue that he seeth the Father doe: for whatsoeuer things he doth, the same things doeth the Sonne in like maner.
20 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.
For the Father loueth the Sonne, and sheweth him all things, whatsoeuer he himselfe doeth, and he will shewe him greater workes then these, that ye should marueile.
21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and giveth them life, so the Son also giveth life to whom he will.
For likewise as the Father rayseth vp the dead, and quickeneth them, so the Sonne quickeneth whom he will.
22 For neither doth the Father judge any one, but hath committed all judgment to the Son;
For the Father iudgeth no man, but hath committed all iudgement vnto the Sonne,
23 that all may honor the Son, as they honor the Father. He that honoreth not the Son, honoreth not the Father, who sent him.
Because that all men shoulde honour the Sonne, as they honour the Father: he that honoureth not the Sonne, the same honoureth not the Father, which hath sent him.
24 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)
Verely, verely I say vnto you, he that heareth my worde, and beleeueth him that sent me, hath euerlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation, but hath passed from death vnto life. (aiōnios g166)
25 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.
Verely, verely I say vnto you, the houre shall come, and now is, when the dead shall heare the voyce of the Sonne of God: and they that heare it, shall liue.
26 For as the Father hath life in himself, so did he give to the Son also to have life in himself.
For as the Father hath life in himselfe, so likewise hath he giuen to the Sonne to haue life in himselfe,
27 And he gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man.
And hath giuen him power also to execute iudgement, in that he is the Sonne of man.
28 Marvel not at this; for the hour is coming, in which all that are in the tombs will hear his voice,
Marueile not at this: for the houre shall come, in the which all that are in the graues, shall heare his voyce.
29 and will come forth, they that have done good, to a resurrection of life; they that have done evil, to a resurrection of condemnation.
And they shall come foorth, that haue done good, vnto ye resurrection of life: but they that haue done euil, vnto the resurrection of condemnation.
30 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.
I can doe nothing of mine owne selfe: as I heare, I iudge: and my iudgement is iust, because I seeke not mine owne will, but the will of the Father who hath sent me.
31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
If I should beare witnesse of my selfe, my witnesse were not true.
32 There is another who beareth witness of me; and ye know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.
There is another that beareth witnesse of me, and I know that the witnesse, which he beareth of me, is true.
33 Ye have sent to John, and he hath borne witness to the truth.
Ye sent vnto Iohn, and he bare witnesse vnto the trueth.
34 But the testimony which I receive is not from man; but these things I say, that ye may be saved.
But I receiue not the record of man: neuerthelesse these things I say, that ye might be saued.
35 He was the burning and shining lamp: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
He was a burning, and a shining candle: and ye would for a season haue reioyced in his light.
36 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.
But I haue greater witnesse then the witnesse of Iohn: for the workes which the Father hath giuen me to finish, the same workes that I doe, beare witnesse of me, that the Father sent me.
37 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.
And the Father himselfe, which hath sent me, beareth witnesse of me. Ye haue not heard his voyce at any time, neither haue ye seene his shape.
38 And ye have not his word abiding in you; for whom he sent, him ye believe not.
And his worde haue you not abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye beleeued not.
39 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)
Searche the Scriptures: for in them ye thinke to haue eternall life, and they are they which testifie of me. (aiōnios g166)
40 and ye are not willing to come to me, that ye may have life.
But ye will not come to me, that ye might haue life.
41 I receive not honor from men;
I receiue not the prayse of men.
42 but I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
But I know you, that ye haue not the loue of God in you.
43 I have come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not; if another come in his own name, him ye will receive.
I am come in my Fathers Name, and ye receiue me not: if another shall come in his owne name, him will ye receiue.
44 How can ye believe while ye receive honor from one another, and seek not the honor that is from him who alone is God?
How can ye beleeue, which receiue honour one of another, and seeke not the honour that commeth of God alone?
45 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.
Doe not thinke that I will accuse you to my Father: there is one that accuseth you, euen Moses, in whom ye trust.
46 For if ye believed Moses, ye would believe me; for he wrote of me.
For had ye beleeued Moses, ye would haue beleeued me: for he wrote of me.
47 But if ye do not believe his writings, how will ye believe my words?
But if ye beleeue not his writings, how shall ye beleeue my wordes?
