John 5
1 After these things there was the feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
AFTER these things there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 Now there is at Jerusalem, by the sheep-gate, a pool, which is called in Hebrew Bethzatha, having five porches.
Now there is at Jerusalem near the sheep-market a pool, called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porticos.
3 In these were lying a multitude of diseased persons, blind, lame, withered.
In these lay a vast multitude of infirm persons, blind, lame, withered, waiting the motion of the water.
For occasionally an angel descended into the pool, and put the water into commotion: he therefore who first stepped in after the commotion of the water became well, under whatever complaint he had laboured.
5 And a certain man was there, who had had his infirmity thirty-eight years.
And there was a certain man there, who had a complaint of thirty years standing.
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?
Jesus seeing him laid there, and knowing that he had been so for a long while, saith to him, Wilt thou be made sound?
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 infirm man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is disturbed, to cast me into the pool: but when I am coming, another goeth down before me.
8 Jesus saith to him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
Jesus saith to him, Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.
9 And immediately the man was made well, and took up his bed, and walked. And that day was the sabbath.
And instantly the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked away: and that 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 Jews therefore said to him that was cured, It is the sabbath: it is not lawful for thee to carry 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, the same person said to me, Take up thy bed, and walk.
12 hey asked him, Who is the man that said to thee, Take up, and walk?
Then they asked him, Who is the man that said to thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?
13 But the diseased man knew not who it was; for Jesus had withdrawn himself, there being a crowd in the place.
Now he that was cured knew not who he was: for Jesus had slipped away, a crowd being on the spot.
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.
After these things Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Take care; thou art made whole: sin no more, lest something worse befall thee.
15 The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
The man went, and informed the Jews, that it was Jesus who had made him whole.
16 And on this account the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he did these things on the sabbath.
And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to kill 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.
Then Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
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 sought they the more to kill him, because he had not only broken the sabbath, but called God his own Father, setting himself on an equality 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;
Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing by himself, except what he hath seen the Father do: for whatsoever things he doeth, the same and in the same manner doth the Son.
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 loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things which he himself doeth: and greater works than these will he shew him, that ye may wonder.
21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and giveth them life, so the Son also giveth life to whom he will.
For as the Father raiseth the dead, and quickeneth them; so also doth the Son quicken whom he pleases.
22 For neither doth the Father judge any one, but hath committed all judgment to the Son;
For the Father never judgeth any man, but hath committed all judgment to the Son:
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.
in order that all may honour the Son, just as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son, doth not honour the Father who 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)
Verily, verily, I say unto you, That he that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment; but is passed from death into 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.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, yea, it is now, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
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 himself; so hath he given to the Son also to have life in himself;
27 And he gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man.
and hath given him authority also to execute judgment, because he is the Son of man.
28 Marvel not at this; for the hour is coming, in which all that are in the tombs will hear his voice,
Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in which all who are in the graves shall hear his voice,
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 forth; they who have done good actions to the resurrection of life; and they who have been guilty of foul practices, to the resurrection of damnation.
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 am not able to perform any thing by myself: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; for I seek not my own will, but the will of my Father who sent me.
31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
If I bear witness of myself, my witness is 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 who beareth witness of me, and I know that his witness is true which he witnesseth concerning me.
33 Ye have sent to John, and he hath borne witness to the truth.
Ye sent to John, and he bore testimony to the truth.
34 But the testimony which I receive is not from man; but these things I say, that ye may be saved.
But I receive not testimony from man: but I speak these things, that ye may believe.
35 He was the burning and shining lamp: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
He was a lamp glowing and luminous: and ye were pleased for a time to exult 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 have a testimony greater than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me that I should fulfil them, these very works which I am doing, they bear witness of me, that the Father hath 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 who sent me, himself hath borne witness concerning me. Ye have neither at any time heard his voice, nor seen his form.
38 And ye have not his word abiding in you; for whom he sent, him ye believe not.
And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe 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)
Search the scriptures; for ye suppose in them ye have eternal life: and these are they which testify of me. (aiōnios g166)
40 and ye are not willing to come to me, that ye may have life.
And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
41 I receive not honor from men;
I receive not glory from men.
42 but I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
But I know you, that ye have not the love 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 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 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 believe, who receiving honour one from another, seek not the honour which cometh from 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.
Do not suppose that I shall accuse you to my Father: there is one who is accusing you, even Moses, on whom ye place your hope.
46 For if ye believed Moses, ye would believe me; for he wrote of me.
For if ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for of me did he write.
47 But if ye do not believe his writings, how will ye believe my words?
But if ye believe not his writings, how will ye believe my words?
