< John 5 >
1 After these things there was the feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
After this 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 by the sheep [market] a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue, Bethesda, having five porches.
3 In these were lying a multitude of diseased persons, blind, lame, withered.
In these lay a great multitude of impotent persons, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.
For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and agitated the water: whoever then first after the stirring of the water stepped in, was cured of whatever disease he had.
5 And a certain man was there, who had had his infirmity thirty-eight years.
And a certain man was there, who had an infirmity thirty and 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, and knew that he had been now a long time [in that case], he saith to him, Wilt thou be healed?
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 impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is agitated, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.
8 Jesus saith to him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
Jesus saith to him, Rise, 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 immediately the man was healed, and took up his bed, and walked: and on 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 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 healed me, the same 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, What man is that who 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13 But the diseased man knew not who it was; for Jesus had withdrawn himself, there being a crowd in the place.
And he that was healed knew not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being 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.
Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou art cured: sin no more, lest a worse thing come to thee.
15 The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had healed him.
16 And on this account the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he did these things on the sabbath.
And therefore the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath.
17 But he answered them, My Father is working up to this time, and I work.
But 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 the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his 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;
Then answered Jesus, and said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, The Son can do nothing by himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for whatever things he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
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 showeth him all things that himself doeth: and he will show him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.
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 reviveth [them]; even so the Son reviveth whom he will.
22 For neither doth the Father judge any one, but hath committed all judgment to the Son;
For the Father judgeth no 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.
That all [men] should honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He that honoreth not the Son, honoreth not the Father who 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 )
Verily, verily, I say to you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but hath passed from death to life. (aiōnios )
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 to you, The hour is coming, and now is, 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 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 to execute judgment also, 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 that 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 shall come forth; they that have done good to the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, 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 can of my own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not my own 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 testify concerning myself, my testimony 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 that testifieth concerning me, and I know that the testimony which he beareth concerning me is true.
33 Ye have sent to John, and he hath borne witness to the truth.
Ye sent to John, and he 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.
But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye may be saved.
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 light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice 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 greater testimony than [that] of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear testimony concerning 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 himself who hath sent me, hath borne testimony concerning me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
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 )
Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. (aiōnios )
40 and ye are not willing to come to me, that ye may have life.
And ye will not come to me, that ye may have life.
41 I receive not honor from men;
I receive not honor 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 am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall 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 receive honor one from another, and seek not the honor that [cometh] from God only?
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 to the Father: there is [one] that accuseth you, [even] Moses, in whom ye trust.
46 For if ye believed Moses, ye would believe me; for he wrote of me.
For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote concerning me.
47 But if ye do not believe his writings, how will ye believe my words?
But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
