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 Hebrew Bethesda, with five porticos about it.
3 In these were lying a multitude of diseased persons, blind, lame, withered.
In these lay a great number of people that were infirm, blind, lame, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.
For an angel descended at a certain season into the pool, and moved the water; the first therefore that went in after the disturbing of the water, was cured of whatever malady he laboured under.
5 And a certain man was there, who had had his infirmity thirty-eight years.
And there was a man who had been under illness 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?
Jesus seeing him lie there, and knowing that he had been now a long time ill, saith unto him, Dost thou desire to be cured?
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 moved, to put me into the pool; but while I am coming, another goes down before me.
8 Jesus saith to him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
Jesus saith unto 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 cured: and he took up his bed and walked.
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.
Now this was the sabbath-day, therefore the Jews 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 well, said unto me, Take up thy bed and walk.
12 hey asked him, Who is the man that said to thee, Take up, and walk?
Therefore 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13 But the diseased man knew not who it was; for Jesus had withdrawn himself, there being a crowd in the place.
but he, that was healed, did not know who it was: for Jesus had withdrawn himself, there being many people in the 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.
Afterwards Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou art healed; sin no more, least something worse befal thee.
15 The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
And the man went away, 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 for this did the Jews persecute Jesus, and endeavoured to put Him to death; 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 Jesus answered them, My Father worketh without intermission, and so do I.
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.
For this therefore the Jews sought the more to kill Him, because He had not only broken the sabbath, but had also called 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;
Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Verily, verily I say unto you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He seeth the Father do: for whatsoever He doth, these also the Son doth in like manner.
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 doth: and He will shew Him greater than these, 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 up the dead and giveth life: even so the Son maketh alive whom He pleaseth.
22 For neither doth the Father judge any one, but hath committed all judgment to the Son;
For neither doth the Father judge any one, but hath committed all judgement 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 may honour the Son, even as they honour the Father: he, that honoureth not the Son, honoureth not the Father that 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, he, that heareth my word, and believeth in Him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come under condemnation; but is 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.
Verily, verily I tell you, that the time is coming, and even 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 also 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 also to execute judgement, 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,
Wonder not at this; for the time 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 do nothing of my self: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father that hath sent me.
31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
If I alone bear witness of my self, my testimony is not true in law:
32 There is another who beareth witness of me; and ye know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.
but there is another who testifieth concerning me; and I know that the testimony, which he giveth concerning me, is true.
33 Ye have sent to John, and he hath borne witness to the truth.
Ye your selves sent unto John, and he bore witness to the truth:
34 But the testimony which I receive is not from man; but these things I say, that ye may be saved.
though I need not testimony from man; but I say these things 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 indeed a burning and shining light, and for a while ye willingly rejoiced 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 John's: for the works which the Father hath given me to perform, the very works which I do, 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, hath Himself borne witness of me: and yet ye 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 ye have not his word abiding in you; because ye believe not Him, whom He hath 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)
Ye search the scriptures; for ye think that in them ye have eternal life: (aiōnios g166)
40 and ye are not willing to come to me, that ye may have life.
and they testify of me: and yet ye will not come to me, that ye may have life.
41 I receive not honor from men;
Though I desire not applause 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 should 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 applause from each other, and the glory which is from God only, ye seek not?
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.
Think not that I shall 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 if ye believed Moses, ye would believe 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?
