John 5
1 After these things, was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up unto Jerusalem.
AFTER this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 Now there is in Jerusalem, at 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, was lying a throng of them who were sick, —blind, lame, 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 there was a certain man there, who, for thirty-eight years, had continued in his sickness.
And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.
6 Jesus, seeing, this one, lying, and taking note that now, a long time, had he continued, saith unto him—Desirest thou to be made, well?
When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?
7 The sick man answered him—Sir! I have, no man, that, as soon as the water hath been troubled, might thrust me into the pool; but, while, I, am coming, another, before me, goeth down.
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 steppeth down before me.
8 Jesus saith unto him—Rise! take up thy couch, and be walking.
Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
9 And, straightway, the man was made well and took up his couch, and began to walk. Now it was 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 The Jews, therefore, were saying, unto him who had been cured—It is, Sabbath; and it is not allowable for thee to take up thy couch: —
The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.
11 who, however, answered them—He that made me well, he, unto me, said—Take up thy couch, and be walking.
He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.
12 They questioned him—Who is the man that said unto thee, Take up [thy couch], and be walking?
Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?
13 But, the healed one, knew not, who, it was; for, Jesus, had turned aside, a multitude, being in the place.
And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.
14 After these things, Jesus findeth him, in the temple, and said unto him—See! thou hast become, well: —No more, be committing sin, lest, some worse thing, do thee befall.
Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto 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, which had made him whole.
16 And, on this account, were the Jews persecuting Jesus, because, these things, he had been doing, on 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, he, answered them—My Father, until even now, is working; and, I, am working.
But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
18 On this account, therefore, the rather, were the Jews seeking to slay him, —because, not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but was calling 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 went on to say unto them—Verily, verily, I say unto you: The Son cannot be doing, of himself, a single thing, —save anything he may see, the Father, doing; for, whatsoever, he, may be doing, these things, the Son also, in like manner, doeth.
Then answered Jesus 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 what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
20 For, the Father, dearly loveth the Son, and, all things, pointeth out to him, which, himself, is doing; and, greater works than these, will he point out to him, that, ye, may marvel.
For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.
21 For, just as the Father waketh up the dead, and quickeneth them, in like manner, the Son also, whom he pleaseth, doth quicken.
For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.
22 For neither doth, the Father, judge anyone, —but, all the judging, hath given unto the Son:
For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
23 That, all, may honour the Son, just as they honour the Father: he that doth not honour the Son, doth not, in fact, honour the Father who sent him.
That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you: He that heareth, my word, and believeth in him that sent me, hath life age-abiding, and, into judgment, cometh not, but hath passed over, out of death into life. (aiōnios g166)
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. (aiōnios g166)
25 Verily, verily, I say unto you: There cometh an hour, and now is, when, the dead, shall hearken unto the voice of the Son of God, and, they who have hearkened, 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, just as, the Father, hath life, in himself, in like manner, unto the Son also, hath he given, life, to have, in himself;
For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
27 And, authority, hath he given him, to be executing, judgment, —because, Son of Man, is he!
And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
28 Do not be marvelling at this: because there come an hour, in which, all they in the tombs, shall hearken unto 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 who, the good things, have done, unto a resurrection, of life; but, they who the corrupt things, have practised, unto a 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, cannot be doing, of myself, a single thing, —Just as I hear, I judge; and, my judging, is, just, —because I seek not my 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 hath sent me.
31 If, I, bear witness, concerning myself, my witness, is not, true.
If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
32 Another, it is, who beareth witness concerning me, —and I know that, true, is the witness which he witnesseth concerning me.
There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.
33 Ye, have sent forth unto John, —and he hath borne witness to the truth: —
Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.
34 I, however, not from man, my witness, receive; but, these things, I say, that, ye, may be saved: —
But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.
35 He, was the burning and shining lamp, and, ye, were willing to exult, for an hour, 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, I, have, as my witness, something greater than John’s; for, the works which the Father hath given me, that I should complete them, —the works themselves which I am doing, bear witness concerning me, that, the Father, hath sent me.
But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.
37 And so, the Father who sent me, he, hath borne witness concerning me; Neither, a sound of him, at any time, have ye heard, nor, a form of him, have ye seen;
And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
38 And, his word, ye have not, within you abiding—because, as touching him whom, he, sent, in 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, think, by them, to have, life age-abiding; and, those [Scriptures], are they which bear witness concerning me: (aiōnios g166)
Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. (aiōnios g166)
40 And yet ye choose not to come unto me, that, life, ye may have.
And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
41 Glory from men, am I not receiving; —
I receive not honour from men.
42 But I have taken knowledge of you, that, the love of God, ye have not, in yourselves: —
But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
43 I, have come, in the name of my Father, —and ye are not receiving me: If, another, shall 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, —Glory from one another, receiving; and, the glory which is from the only God, are not seeking?
How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?
45 Do not think that, I, will accuse you unto the Father: There, is, who 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 accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.
46 For, if ye had been believing, in Moses, ye would, in that case, have been believing, in me: for, concerning me, he wrote.
For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me.
47 But, if, in his writings, ye are not believing, how, in my sayings, will ye believe?
But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
