John 5

1 After these things there was (the *o*) feast of the Jews, and went up (*k*) Jesus to Jerusalem.

Afterward there was a Jewish festival, and Jesus went 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 at Jerusalem, nigh the sheep gate, a bath, called, in Hebrew, Bethesda, which has five covered walks.

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 great number of sick, blind, lame, and palsied people, waiting for 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 a messenger at times descended into the bath, and agitated the water; and the first that stepped in, after the agitation of the water, was cured of whatever disease he had.)

5 There was now a certain man there thirty (and *no*) eight years being in infirmity (himself. *no*)

Now, there was one there, who had been diseased thirty-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, who saw him lying, and knew that he had been long ill, said to him, Do you desire to be healed?

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 diseased man answered, Sir, I have no person to put me into the bath, when the water is agitated; but while I am going, another gets down before me.

8 Says to him Jesus; (do arise, *N(k)O*) do take up the mat of you and do walk.

Jesus said to him, Arise, take up your 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.

Instantly the man was healed, and took up his couch and walked.

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*)

Now, that day was the Sabbath. The Jews, therefore, said to him that was cured, This is the Sabbath. It is now lawful for you to carry the 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, He who healed me, said to me, Take up your 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 then, Who is the man that said to you, Take up your 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 who it was; for Jesus had slipped 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.

Jesus, afterward, finding him in the temple, said to him, Behold, you are cured; sin no more, lest something worse befall you.

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, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had cured him.

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.

Therefore, the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he had done this on the 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 works until now; I also 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 reason the Jews were the more intent to kill him; because he had not only broken the Sabbath, but, by calling God his real Father, had equaled himself to 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.

Then Jesus addressed them, saying, Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but as he sees the Father do: for what things soever he does, such does the Son, likewise.

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 shows him all that he himself does: nay, and will show him greater works than these, which will astonish you.

21 Even as for the Father raises up the dead and gives life, thus also the Son to whom He wishes gives life.

For as the Father raises and quickens the dead, 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 the Father judges no person, having committed the power of judging entirely 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 might honor the Son; as they honor the Father. He that honors not the Son, honors not the Father, who 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 g166)

Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears my doctrine, and believes him who sent me, has eternal life; and shall not suffer condemnation, having passed from death to life. (aiōnios g166)

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*)

Most assuredly, I say to you, the time comes; or, rather, is come, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God; and hearing, they shall live.

26 As for the Father has life in Himself, so also to the Son He gave life to have in Himself,

For, as the Father has life in himself, so has he given to the Son, 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 even the judicial authority, because he is a 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 the time comes when all that are in their graves 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 come forth. They who have done good, shall arise to enjoy life; they who have done evil, shall arise to suffer punishment.

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 can do nothing of myself; as I hear, I judge; and my judgment is just, because I seek not to please myself, but to please him who sent me.

31 If I myself shall bear witness concerning Myself, the testimony of Mine not is true;

If I alone testify concerning myself, my testimony is not to be regarded:

32 Another it is who is bearing witness concerning Me, and I know that true is the testimony which he bears witness concerning Me.

there is another who testifies concerning me; and I know that his testimony of me ought to be regarded.

33 You yourselves have sent unto John and he has borne witness to the truth;

You, yourselves, sent to John, and he bore testimony of the truth.

34 I myself now not from man the testimony receive but these things I say that you yourselves may be saved.

As for me, I need no human testimony; I can only urge this for your salvation.

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 blazing and shining lamp; and for awhile, you were glad to enjoy 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 greater testimony than John's: for the works which the Father has empowered me to perform, the works themselves, which I do, testify for 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,

Nay, the Father, who sent me, has himself attested me. Did you never hear his voice, or see his form?

38 And the word of Him not you have in you abiding for whom sent He, in Him you yourselves not believe.

Or, have you forgotten his declaration, that you believe not him whom he has sent forth?

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 g166)

You search the scriptures because you think to obtain by them eternal life. Now these, also, are witnesses for me; (aiōnios g166)

40 and not you are willing to come to Me that life you may have.

yet you will not come to me, that you may obtain life.

41 Glory from men not I take;

I desire not honor from men;

42 but I have known you that the love of God not you have in yourselves.

but I know you, that you are strangers to the love of God.

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 you did not receive me; if another come, in his own name, you will receive him.

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 you believe, while you court honor one from another, regardless of the honor 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.

Do not think that I am he who will accuse you to the Father. Your accuser is Moses, in whom you confide.

46 If for you were believing in Moses, you were believing then would in Me myself; concerning for Me he wrote.

For if you believed Moses, you would believe me: for he wrote concerning me.

47 If now in his writings not you believe, how in My declarations will you believe?

But if you believe not his writings, how shall you believe my words?
