John 5
1 After this there was a Festival of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
AFTER these there was a feast of the Jihudoyee, and Jeshu went up to Urishlem.
2 Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, called in Hebrew 'Bethesda.' It has five arcades.
Now there was there in Urishlem a certain place of ablution, which was called in Hebrew Bethchesda, and having in it five porticoes.
3 In these there used to lie a great number of sick persons, and of people who were blind or lame or paralyzed.
And in these were many infirm people, blind and lame and withered, awaiting the moving of the waters.
For an angel at times descended to the pool and moved the waters; and he who first descended after the movement of the waters was healed of whatever disease he had.
5 And there was one man there who had been an invalid for thirty-eight years.
But a certain man was there who for thirtyand-eight years had been in a disease.
6 Jesus saw him lying there, and knowing that he had been a long time in that condition, He asked him, "Do you wish to have health and strength?"
Jeshu saw this (man) as he lay, and knew that for a long time he had (been thus), and said to him, Art thou willing to be healed?
7 "Sir," replied the sufferer, "I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is moved; but while I am coming some one else steps down before me."
The diseased man answered and said, Yes, my Lord; but I have no man who, when the waters are moved, shall cast me into the pool: but while I am coming, another before me descendeth.
8 "Rise," said Jesus, "take up your mat and walk."
Jeshu saith to him, Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.
9 Instantly the man was restored to perfect health, and he took up his mat and began to walk.
And in the instant that man was healed, and, arising, he took up his bed, and walked: and that day was the shabath.
10 That day was a Sabbath. So the Jews said to the man who had been cured, "It is the Sabbath: you must not carry your mat."
And the Jihudoyee said to him who had been healed, This is the shabath: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.
11 "He who cured me," he replied, "said to me, 'Take up your mat and walk.'"
But he answered and said to them, He who made me whole, he said to me, Take up thy bed, and walk.
12 "Who is it," they asked, "that said to you, 'Take up your mat and walk'?"
And they said to him, What man is this who told thee to take up thy bed, and walk?
13 But the man who had been cured did not know who it was; for Jesus had passed out unnoticed, there being a crowd in the place.
But he who had been healed knew not who it was; for Jeshu had retired among the great multitude which was in that place.
14 Afterwards Jesus found him in the Temple and said to him, "You are now restored to health. Do not sin any more, or a worse thing may befall you."
After a time Jeshu found him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou art healed: sin not again, lest there be to thee that which is worse than the first.
15 The man went and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had restored him to health;
And that man went away, and told the Jihudoyee, that it was Jeshu who had healed him.
16 and on this account the Jews began to persecute Jesus--because He did these things on the Sabbath.
On account of this the Jihudoyee persecuted Jeshu, and sought to kill him, because these things he had done on the shabath.
17 His reply to their accusation was, "My Father works unceasingly, and so do I."
But he, Jeshu, said to them, My Father until now worketh, I also work.
18 On this account then the Jews were all the more eager to put Him to death--because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also spoke of God as being in a special sense His Father, thus putting Himself on a level with God.
But on this account the more sought the Jihudoyee to kill him, not only because he had loosed the shabath, but also that of Aloha he had said that he was his Father, and had made himself equal with Aloha.
19 "In most solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that the Son can do nothing of Himself--He can only do what He sees the Father doing; for whatever He does, that the Son does in like manner.
BUT Jeshu answered and said to them, Amen, amen, I say to you, The Son cannot do any thing from the will of himself, but that which he seeth the Father do.
20 For the Father loves the Son and reveals to Him all that He Himself is doing. And greater deeds than these will He reveal to Him, in order that you may wonder.
For those which the Father doeth, these also the Son likewise doeth. For the Father loveth the Son, and every thing that he doeth he showeth him; and greater than these works he showeth him, that you may wonder.
21 For just as the Father awakens the dead and gives them life, so the Son also gives life to whom He wills.
For as the Father raiseth the dead, and quickeneth, so also the Son quickeneth those whom he willeth.
22 The Father indeed does not judge any one, but He has entrusted all judgement to the Son,
For the Father judgeth no man, but all judgment he hath given to the Son;
23 that all may honour the Son even as they honour the Father. The man who withholds honour from the Son withholds honour from the Father who sent Him.
that all men should honour the Son, as they honour the Father. He who honoureth not the Son, honoureth not the Father who sent him.
24 "In most solemn truth I tell you that he who listens to my teaching and believes Him who sent me, has the Life of the Ages, and does not come under judgement, but has passed over out of death into Life. (aiōnios g166)
Amen, amen, I say to you, He who heareth my word and believeth on him who sent me, hath the life that is eternal, and into condemnation he cometh not, but hath passed from death unto life. (aiōnios g166)
25 "In most solemn truth I tell you that a time is coming--nay, has already come--when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear it will live.
Amen, amen, I say to you, That the hour cometh and also now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of Aloha; and they who hear shall live
26 For just as the Father has life in Himself, so He has also given to the Son to have life in Himself.
For as the Father hath life in his person, so hath he given also to the Son to have life in his person,
27 And He has conferred on Him authority to act as Judge, because He is the Son of Man.
and hath empowered him also to execute judgment. Because he is the Son of man,
28 Wonder not at this. For a time is coming when all who are in the graves will hear His voice and will come forth--
marvel not at this; for the hour cometh when all they who are in the sepulchres shall hear his voice,
29 they who have done what is right to the resurrection of Life, and they whose actions have been evil to the resurrection of judgement.
and shall come forth; they who have done good unto the resurrection of life, and they who have done evil unto the resurrection of condemnation.
30 "I can of my own self do nothing. As I am bidden, so I judge; and mine is a just judgement, because it is not my own will that guides me, but the will of Him who sent me.
I CANNOT of the will of myself do any thing; but as I hear I judge, and my judgment is just; for I seek not my will, but the will of Him who sent me.
31 "If I give testimony concerning myself, my testimony cannot be accepted.
If I should witness concerning myself, my testimony would not be (regarded as) truth:
32 There is Another who gives testimony concerning me, and I know that the testimony is true which He offers concerning me.
there is another who witnesseth of me, and I know that true is his testimony which he hath witnessed of me.
33 "You sent to John, and he both was and still is a witness to the truth.
You sent to Juchanon, and he witnessed of the truth.
34 But the testimony on my behalf which I accept is not from man; though I say all this in order that you may be saved.
But I do not from man (only) receive testimony. But these (things) speak I that you may be saved.
35 He was the lamp that burned and shone, and for a time you were willing to be gladdened by his light.
He was a lamp that burneth and shineth, and you were willing to glory for the hour in his light.
36 "But the testimony which I have is weightier than that of John; for the work the Father has assigned to me for me to bring it to completion--the very work which I am doing--affords testimony concerning me that the Father has sent me.
But I have a testimony which is greater than that of Juchanon; for the works that the Father hath given me to accomplish, these works that I do testify of me that the Father hath sent me.
37 And the Father who sent me, He has given testimony concerning me. None of you have ever either heard His voice or seen what He is like.
And the Father who hath sent me, he testifieth of me: but his voice you have never heard, nor his appearance seen.
38 Nor have you His word dwelling within you, for you refuse to believe Him whom He has sent.
And his word abideth not in you, because in Him whom he hath sent you do not believe.
39 "You search the Scriptures, because you suppose that in them you will find the Life of the Ages; and it is those Scriptures that yield testimony concerning me; (aiōnios g166)
Investigate the scriptures; for in them you think you have the life that is eternal, and they testify of me. (aiōnios g166)
40 and yet you are unwilling to come to me that you may have Life.
And you will not come to me that the life that is eternal you might have.
41 "I do not accept glory from man,
Glory from the sons of men I receive not.
42 but I know you well, and I know that in your hearts you do not really love God.
But I know you, that the love of Aloha is not in you.
43 I have come as my Father's representative, and you do not receive me. If some one else comes representing only himself, him you will receive.
I have come in the name of my Father, and you have not received me.
44 How is it possible for you to believe, while you receive glory from one another and have no desire for the glory that comes from the only God?
If another should come in his own name, him you would receive. How can you believe, who glory one from another are receiving, and the glory which is from one, Aloha, you seek not?
45 "Do not suppose that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you, namely Moses, on whom your hope rests.
How think you that I will accuse you before the Father? There is one who accuseth you, Musha himself, in whom you hope.
46 For if you believe Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote about me.
For if in Musha you had believed, you would also have believed in me; for Musha of me hath written.
47 But if you disbelieve his writings, how are you to believe my words?"
But if his writings you believe not, how my words will you believe?
