John 5
1 After these things there was a 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 in Jerusalem by the sheep [gate] a pool, which is called in Hebrew Bethesda, 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 lay a multitude of them that were sick, blind, halt, withered.
In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.
For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.
5 And a certain man was there, which had been thirty and eight years in his infirmity.
And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.
6 When Jesus saw him lying, and knew that he had been now a long time [in that case], he saith unto him, Wouldest thou be made whole?
When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he says unto him, Will you be made whole?
7 The sick 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 steppeth down before me.
The impotent 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 steps down before me.
8 Jesus saith unto him, Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.
Jesus says unto him, Rise, take up your bed, and walk.
9 And straightway the man was made whole, and took up his bed and walked. Now it was the sabbath on that day.
And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.
10 So the Jews said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath, and it is not lawful for thee to take up thy bed.
The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for you to carry your bed.
11 But he answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.
He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up your bed, and walk.
12 They asked him, Who is the man that said unto thee, Take up [thy bed], and walk?
Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto you, Take up your bed, and walk?
13 But he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in the place.
And he that was healed know not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.
14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing befall thee.
Afterward Jesus finds him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, you are made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto you.
15 The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus which had made him whole.
The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole.
16 And for this cause did the Jews persecute Jesus, because he did these things on the sabbath.
And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.
17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh even until now, and I work.
But Jesus answered them, My Father works until now, and I work.
18 For this cause therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only brake the sabbath, but also called God 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 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 doing: for what things soever he doeth, these the Son also doeth in like manner.
Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father do: for what things whatsoever he does, these also does the Son likewise.
20 For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and greater works than these will he shew him, that ye may marvel.
For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all things that himself does: and he will show him greater works than these, that all of you may marvel.
21 For as the Father raiseth the dead and quickeneth them, even so the Son also quickeneth whom he will.
For as the Father raises up the dead, and replenishes life to them; even so the Son gives life to whom he will.
22 For neither doth the Father judge any man, but he hath given all judgment unto the Son;
For the Father judges no man, but has committed all judgment unto the Son:
23 that all may honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which sent him.
That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honors not the Son honors not the Father which has sent him.
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth him that sent me, hath eternal life, and cometh not into judgment, but hath passed out of death into life. (aiōnios g166)
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that hears my word, (logos) and believes on him that sent me, has everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. (aiōnios g166)
25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour cometh, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God; and they that hear shall live.
Verily, verily, I say unto 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, even so gave he to the Son also to have life in himself:
For as the Father has life in himself; so has he given to the Son to have life in himself;
27 and he gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of man.
And has given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
28 Marvel not at this: for the hour cometh, in which all that are in the tombs shall hear his voice,
Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done ill, unto the resurrection of judgment.
And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
30 I can of myself do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is righteous; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which has 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 It is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.
There is another that bears witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesses of me is true.
33 Ye have sent unto John, and he hath borne witness unto the truth.
All of you sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.
34 But the witness which I receive is not from man: howbeit I say these things, that ye may be saved.
But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that all of you might be saved.
35 He was the lamp that burneth and shineth: and ye were willing to rejoice for a season in his light.
He was a burning and a shining light: and all of you were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
36 But the witness which I have is greater than [that of] John: for the works which the Father hath given me to accomplish, the very works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.
But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father has given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father has sent me.
37 And the Father which 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, which has sent me, has borne witness of me. All of you 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 all of you have not his word (logos) abiding in you: for whom he has sent, him all of you believe not.
39 Ye search the scriptures, because ye think that in them ye have eternal life; and these are they which bear witness of me; (aiōnios g166)
Search the scriptures; for in them all of you think all of you have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. (aiōnios g166)
40 and ye will not come to me, that ye may have life.
And all of you will not come to me, that all of you might have life.
41 I receive not glory from men.
I receive not honour from men.
42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in yourselves.
But I know you, that all of you have not the love (agape) of God in you.
43 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.
I am come in my Father's name, and all of you receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him all of you will receive.
44 How can ye believe, which receive glory one of another, and the glory that [cometh] from the only God ye seek not?
How can all of you believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that comes from God only?
45 Think not that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, [even] Moses, on whom ye have set your hope.
Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuses you, even Moses, in whom all of you trust.
46 For if ye believed Moses, ye would believe me; for he wrote of me.
For had all of you believed Moses, all of you would have believed me; for he wrote of me.
47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
But if all of you believe not his writings, how shall all of you believe my words? (rhema)
