John 5

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

After this there was a Jewish festival, 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 in Jerusalem by the sheep gate, there is a pool, which in Hebrew is called Bethesda, and it has five roofed porches.

3 In these were lying a multitude (great *K*) of those ailing, blind, lame, paralyzed (waiting for of the water motion. *K*)

A large number of people who were sick, blind, lame, or paralyzed were lying there.

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*)

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

A certain man was there who had been sick for 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?

When Jesus saw him lying there, and after he realized that he had been there a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be healthy?”

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 sick man replied, “Sir, I do not have anyone to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up. When I come, another steps 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, “Get up, take up your bed, 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.

Immediately the man was healed, and he took up his bed and walked. Now that day was a 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*)

So the Jews said to him who was healed, “It is the Sabbath and you are not permitted to carry your mat.”

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 replied, “He who made me healthy said to me, 'Pick up your mat 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, “Who is the man that said to you, 'Pick it up and walk'?”

13 The [one] now having been healed not knew who it is; for Jesus moved away a crowd being in the place.

However, the one who was healed did not know who it was because Jesus had gone away secretly, for there was 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.

Afterward, Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, “See, you have become healthy! Do not sin anymore, so that something worse will not happen to 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 away and reported to the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him healthy.

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.

Now because of these things the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he did these things on the Sabbath.

17 But Jesus answered them; The Father of Mine until now is working, and I myself and I myself am working.

Jesus replied to them, “My Father is working even now, and I, too, am working.”

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.

Because of this, the Jews sought even more to kill him because he not only broke the Sabbath, but also called God his own Father, making himself equal 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.

Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, the Son can do nothing of himself, except only what he sees the Father doing, for whatever the Father is doing, the Son does these things also.

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 he shows him everything that he himself does, and he will show him greater things than these so that you will be amazed.

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 the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whomever he wishes.

22 Not for the Father does judge no [one], but judgment all has given to the Son,

For the Father judges no one, but he 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.

so that everyone will honor the Son just as they honor the Father. The one who does not honor the Son does not honor 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)

Truly, truly, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned, but he has 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*)

Truly, truly, I tell you the time is coming, and is now, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.

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

For just as the Father has life in himself, so he has also given to the Son so that he has life in himself,

27 And authority He gave to Him (and *k*) judgment to carry out, because Son of Man He is.

and the Father has given the Son authority to carry out judgment because he is the 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

Do not be amazed at this, for there is a time coming in which everyone who is in the tombs will 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 will come out. Those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the 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 can do nothing from myself. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous because I am not seeking my own will but the will of him who sent me.

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

If I should testify about myself, my testimony would not be 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.

There is another who testifies about me, and I know that the testimony that he gives about me is true.

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

You have sent to John, and he has testified the truth.

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

But the testimony that I receive is not from man. I say these things that you 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.

John was a lamp that was burning and shining, and you were willing to rejoice in his light for a while.

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.

Yet the testimony that I have is greater than that of John, for the works that the Father has given me to accomplish, the very works that I do, testify about 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,

The Father who sent me has himself testified about me. You have neither heard his voice nor seen his form at any time.

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

You do not have his word remaining in you, for you are not believing in the one whom he has sent.

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 that in them you have eternal life, and these same scriptures testify about me, (aiōnios g166)

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

and you are not willing to come to me so that you may have life.

41 Glory from men not I take;

I do not receive praise from men,

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

but I know that you do not have the love of God in yourselves.

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 have come in my Father's name, and you do not receive me. If another should come in his own name, you would 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, you who accept praise from one another but are not seeking the praise that comes from the only God?

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 myself will accuse you before the Father. The one who accuses you is Moses, in whom you have put your hope.

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

If you believed Moses, you would believe me, because he wrote about me.

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

If you do not believe his writings, how are you going to believe my words?”
