< John 5 >
1 After these things there was (the *o*) feast of the Jews, and went up (*k*) Jesus to Jerusalem.
After these things was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 There is now in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, which is being called in Hebrew (Bethzatha, *N(k)O*) five porches having.
Now there is in Jerusalem, at the sheepgate, a pool, which is called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches.
3 In these were lying a multitude (great *K*) of those ailing, blind, lame, paralyzed (waiting for of the water motion. *K*)
In these lay a multitude of sick, blind, lame, withered, [awaiting the moving of the water.
4 (an angel *KO*) (for on occasion was going down among those pool and was troubling the water; the [one] who therefore first was climbing in after the disturbance of the water healthy was becoming of that whatever he was posessed disease. *K*)
For an angel descended at a certain season in the pool and troubled the water. Whoever therefore first went in after the troubling of the water became well, whatever disease he laboured under.]
5 There was now a certain man there thirty (and *no*) eight years being in infirmity (himself. *no*)
But there was a certain man there who had been suffering under his infirmity thirty and eight years.
6 Him having seen Jesus lying, and having known that a long already time he has been, He says to him; Desire you well to become?
Jesus seeing this [man] lying [there], and knowing that he was [in that state] now a great length of time, says to him, Wouldest thou become well?
7 Answered Him the [one] ailing; Sir, a man not I have that when may be stirred the water (he may put *N(k)O*) me into the pool; in which now am going I myself, another before me descends.
The infirm [man] answered him, Sir, I have not a man, in order, when the water has been troubled, to cast me into the pool; but while I am coming another descends before me.
8 Says to him Jesus; (do arise, *N(k)O*) do take up the mat of you and do walk.
Jesus says to him, Arise, take up thy couch and walk.
9 And immediately became well the man and he took up the mat of him and was walking; It was now Sabbath on that [very] day.
And immediately the man became well, and took up his couch and walked: and on that day was sabbath.
10 Were saying therefore the Jews to the [one] healed; Sabbath it is, (and *no*) not it is lawful for you to take up the mat (of you. *NK*)
The Jews therefore said to the healed [man], It is sabbath, it is not permitted thee to take up thy couch.
11 (The [man] *n(o)*) (however *no*) answered them; The [One] having made me well, that One to me said; do take up the mat of you and do walk.
He answered them, He that made me well, he said to me, Take up thy couch and walk.
12 They asked (therefore *KO*) him; Who is the man having said to you; do take up (the *ko*) (mat of you *KO*) and do walk?’
They asked him [therefore], Who is the man who said to thee, Take up thy couch and walk?
13 The [one] now having been healed not knew who it is; for Jesus moved away a crowd being in the place.
But he that had been healed knew not who it was, for Jesus had slidden away, there being a crowd in the place.
14 After these things finds him Jesus in the temple and said to him; Behold well you have become; no more do sin that not worse to you something may happen.
After these things Jesus finds him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou art become well: sin no more, that something worse do not happen to thee.
15 Went away the man and (told *NK(o)*) to the Jews that Jesus it is the [One] having made him well.
The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
16 And because of this were persecuting the Jews Jesus (and were seeking him to kill *K*) because these things He was doing on [the] Sabbath.
And for this the Jews persecuted Jesus [and sought to kill him], because he had done these things on sabbath.
17 But Jesus answered them; The Father of Mine until now is working, and I myself and I myself am working.
But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto and I work.
18 Because of this therefore [the] more were seeking Him the Jews to kill, because not only was He breaking the Sabbath, but also Father His own He was naming God equal Himself making to God.
For this therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he had not only violated the sabbath, but also said that God was his own Father, making himself equal with God.
19 Answered therefore Jesus and (was saying *N(k)O*) to them; Amen Amen I say to you; not is able the Son to do of Himself no [thing], (only *NK(o)*) unless anything He shall see the Father doing. whatever for maybe He shall do, these things also the Son likewise does.
Jesus therefore answered and said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, The Son can do nothing of himself save whatever he sees the Father doing: for whatever things he does, these things also the Son does in like manner.
20 For the Father loves the Son and all things shows to Him that He himself does, and greater than these He will show to Him works so that you yourselves may marvel.
For the Father loves the Son and shews him all things which he himself does; and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may wonder.
21 Even as for the Father raises up the dead and gives life, thus also the Son to whom He wishes gives life.
For even as the Father raises the dead and quickens [them], thus the Son also quickens whom he will:
22 Not for the Father does judge no [one], but judgment all has given to the Son,
for neither does the Father judge any one, but has given all judgment to the Son;
23 so that all may honor the Son even as they honor the Father. He who not is honoring the Son not is honoring the Father the [One] having sent Him.
that all may honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He who honours not the Son, honours not the Father who has sent him.
24 Amen Amen I say to you that the [one] the word of Mine hearing and believing in the [One] having sent Me he has life eternal and into judgment not comes, but has passed out of death into life. (aiōnios )
Verily, verily, I say unto you, that he that hears my word, and believes him that has sent me, has life eternal, and does not come into judgment, but is passed out of death into life. (aiōnios )
25 Amen Amen I say to you that is coming an hour and now is when the dead (will hear *N(k)O*) the voice of the Son of God and those having heard (will live. *N(k)O*)
Verily, verily, I say unto you, that an hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that have heard shall live.
26 As for the Father has life in Himself, so also to the Son He gave life to have in Himself,
For even as the Father has life in himself, so he has given to the Son also to have life in himself,
27 And authority He gave to Him (and *k*) judgment to carry out, because Son of Man He is.
and has given him authority to execute judgment [also], because he is Son of man.
28 Not do marvel at this, for is coming an hour in which all those in the tombs (will hear *N(k)O*) the voice of Him
Wonder not at this, for an hour is coming in which all who are in the tombs shall hear his voice,
29 and will come forth — those good having done to [the] resurrection of life, and those evil having done to [the] resurrection of judgment.
and shall go forth; those that have practised good, to resurrection of life, and those that have done evil, to resurrection of judgment.
30 Not am able I myself to do of Myself no [thing]; even as I hear I judge, and the judgment of Mine just is, because not I seek the will of Me but the will of the [One who] having sent Me ([the] Father. *K*)
I cannot do anything of myself; as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous, because I do not seek my will, but the will of him that has sent me.
31 If I myself shall bear witness concerning Myself, the testimony of Mine not is true;
If I bear witness concerning myself, my witness is not true.
32 Another it is who is bearing witness concerning Me, and I know that true is the testimony which he bears witness concerning Me.
It is another who bears witness concerning me, and I know that the witness which he bears concerning me is true.
33 You yourselves have sent unto John and he has borne witness to the truth;
Ye have sent unto John, and he has borne witness to the truth.
34 I myself now not from man the testimony receive but these things I say that you yourselves may be saved.
But I do not receive witness from man, but I say this that ye might be saved.
35 He was the lamp which is burning and shining, you yourselves now were willing to rejoice for a season in the light of him.
He was the burning and shining lamp, and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
36 I myself however have the testimony (greater than *N(k)O*) that of John; For the works that (has given *N(k)O*) Me the Father that I may complete them, same the works which (I myself *k*) I do, bear witness concerning Me that the Father Me has sent.
But I have the witness [that is] greater than [that] of John; for the works which the Father has given me that I should complete them, the works themselves which I do, bear witness concerning me that the Father has sent me.
37 And the [One] having sent Me [the] Father (Himself *N(k)O*) has borne witness concerning Me; Neither voice of Him at any time have You heard nor form of Him have you seen,
And the Father who has sent me himself has borne witness concerning me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor have seen his shape,
38 And the word of Him not you have in you abiding for whom sent He, in Him you yourselves not believe.
and ye have not his word abiding in you; for whom he hath sent, him ye do not believe.
39 You diligently search the Scriptures, for you yourselves think in them life eternal to have; and these are they those bearing witness concerning Me, (aiōnios )
Ye search the scriptures, for ye think that in them ye have life eternal, and they it is which bear witness concerning me; (aiōnios )
40 and not you are willing to come to Me that life you may have.
and ye will not come to me that ye might have life.
41 Glory from men not I take;
I do not receive glory from men,
42 but I have known you that the love of God not you have in yourselves.
but I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
43 I myself have come in the name of the Father of Mine, and not you receive Me; if another shall come in the name the own, him you will receive.
I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not; if another come in his own name, him ye will receive.
44 How are able you yourselves to believe glory from one another receiving and the glory that [is] from the only God not you seek?
How can ye believe, who receive glory one of another, and seek not the glory which [comes] from God alone?
45 Not do think that I myself will accuse you to the Father; There is [one] accusing you Moses in whom you yourselves have hoped.
Think not that I will accuse you to the Father: there is [one] who accuses you, Moses, on whom ye trust;
46 If for you were believing in Moses, you were believing then would in Me myself; concerning for Me he wrote.
for if ye had believed Moses, ye would have believed me, for he wrote of me.
47 If now in his writings not you believe, how in My declarations will you believe?
But if ye do not believe his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
