John 5
1 After these things there was the feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
After this came the feast of the Jews, so 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 in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate there is a pool, called Bethesda in Hebrew, which has five porticoes.
3 In these were lying a multitude of diseased persons, blind, lame, withered.
In the porticoes were lying a great multitude of disabled people, including the blind, the lame, and the paralyzed, who were waiting for the moving of the water.
For at times an angel would go down into the pool and stir up the water. The first person who stepped in after the water was stirred up was healed of whatever disease he had.
5 And a certain man was there, who had had his infirmity thirty-eight years.
One man was there who had been suffering in his disability for thirty-eight years.
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 Jesus saw him lying there, knowing that he had been in that condition for a long time already, he said to him, “Do yoʋ want to be made well?”
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 disabled man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I am going, another goes down before me.”
8 Jesus saith to him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
Jesus said to him, “Rise, pick up yoʋr mat, and walk.”
9 And immediately the man was made well, and took up his bed, and walked. And that day was the sabbath.
Immediately the man was made well, so he picked up his mat and began to walk. Now that day was a 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.
So the Jews said to the man who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath; it is not lawful for yoʋ to pick up yoʋr mat.”
11 He answered them, He that made me well, the same said to me, Take up thy bed, and walk. T
He answered them, “The man who made me well said to me, ‘Pick up yoʋr mat and walk.’”
12 hey asked him, Who is the man that said to thee, Take up, and walk?
So they asked him, “Who is the man who said to yoʋ, ‘Pick up yoʋr mat and walk’?”
13 But the diseased man knew not who it was; for Jesus had withdrawn himself, there being a crowd in the place.
But the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away, since there was a crowd 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.
After this Jesus found the man in the temple courts and said to him, “Behold, yoʋ have been made well; do not sin anymore, lest something worse happen to yoʋ.”
15 The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
Then the man went and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
16 And on this account the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he did these things on the sabbath.
So the Jews began persecuting Jesus and seeking to kill him, because he was doing these things on the Sabbath.
17 But he answered them, My Father is working up to this time, and I work.
But Jesus responded to them, “My Father is still working even now, and I too am working.”
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.
So the Jews were seeking all the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal 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;
So Jesus responded to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing on his own, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, the Son also does in the same way.
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 loves the Son and shows him all that he himself does. And he will show him greater works than these, so that you will be amazed.
21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and giveth them life, so the Son also giveth life to whom he will.
For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whomever he wishes.
22 For neither doth the Father judge any one, but hath committed all judgment to the Son;
The Father judges no one, but has given 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.
so that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Anyone who does not honor the Son does not honor 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)
Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to 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.
“Truly, truly, I say to you, an hour is coming, and is now here, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear it will 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 has life in himself, so he has granted the Son to have life in himself.
27 And he gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man.
And he has given the Son authority 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,
Do not be amazed at this, because an hour is coming in which all who are in the tombs will 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 come out, those who have done good to a resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to a resurrection of judgment.
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 do nothing on my own. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father who sent me.
31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
“If I testify about myself, my testimony is not valid.
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 testifies about me, and I know that the testimony he gives about me is true.
33 Ye have sent to John, and he hath borne witness to the truth.
You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.
34 But the testimony which I receive is not from man; but these things I say, that ye may be saved.
Now I do not receive testimony from man, but I say these things so that you may be saved.
35 He was the burning and shining lamp: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
John was a burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice 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 hath given me to perform, the works themselves which I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.
But I have testimony greater than John's. For the works that the Father has given me to accomplish, the very works that I am doing, testify that the Father has 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 has himself testified about me. You have neither heard his voice at any time nor seen his form.
38 And ye have not his word abiding in you; for whom he sent, him ye believe not.
And you do not have his word abiding in you, for you do not believe him whom he sent.
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)
You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life, and it is these that testify about me, (aiōnios g166)
40 and ye are not willing to come to me, that ye may have life.
yet you are not willing to come to me so that you may have life.
41 I receive not honor from men;
I do not receive glory from men.
42 but I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
But I know that you do not have the love of God within 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 the name of my Father, and yet you do not receive me. If another comes in his own name, you will receive him.
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 you believe when you receive glory from one another but do not seek the glory that comes from the one and only God?
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 think that I will accuse you before the Father. The one who accuses you is Moses, in whom you have set your hope.
46 For if ye believed Moses, ye would believe me; for he wrote of me.
If you had believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me.
47 But if ye do not believe his writings, how will ye believe my words?
But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?”
