John 5
1 After these things there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 Now there is at Jerusalem near the sheep-market a pool, called in Hebrew Bethesda, with five porticos about it.
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 lay a great number of people that were infirm, blind, lame, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.
In these lay a great multitude of sick people, blind, lame, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.
4 For an angel descended at a certain season into the pool, and moved the water; the first therefore that went in after the disturbing of the water, was cured of whatever malady he laboured under.
For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was healed of whatever disease he had.
5 And there was a man who had been under illness thirty eight years.
And a certain man was there, who had an infirmity thirty and eight years.
6 Jesus seeing him lie there, and knowing that he had been now a long time ill, saith unto him, Dost thou desire to be cured?
When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith to him, Wilt thou be healed?
7 The infirm man answered Him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is moved, to put me into the pool; but while I am coming, another goes down before me.
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 bed, and walk.
Jesus saith to him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
9 And immediately the man was cured: and he took up his bed and walked.
And immediately the man was healed, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.
10 Now this was the sabbath-day, therefore the Jews said to him that was cured, It is the sabbath, it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.
The Jews therefore said to him that was cured, It is the sabbath: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.
11 He answered them, He, that made me well, said unto me, Take up thy bed and walk.
He answered them, He that healed me, the same said to me, Take up thy bed, and walk.
12 Therefore they asked him, Who is the man that said to thee, Take up thy bed and walk?
Then they asked him, What man is that who said to thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?
13 but he, that was healed, did not know who it was: for Jesus had withdrawn himself, there being many people in the place.
And he that was healed knew not who it was: for Jesus had withdrawn himself, a multitude being in that place.
14 Afterwards Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou art healed; sin no more, least something worse befal thee.
Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou art cured: sin no more, lest a worse thing come to thee.
15 And the man went away, and told the Jews, that it was Jesus who had healed him.
The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, who had healed him.
16 And for this did the Jews persecute Jesus, and endeavoured to put Him to death; because He had done these things on the sabbath-day.
And therefore the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath.
17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh without intermission, and so do I.
But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh until now, and I work.
18 For this therefore the Jews sought the more to kill Him, because He had not only broken the sabbath, but had also called 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 said unto them, Verily, verily I say unto you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He seeth the Father do: for whatsoever He doth, these also the Son doth in like manner.
Then answered Jesus and said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, The Son can do nothing by himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for whatever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
20 For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth Him all things, which He Himself doth: and He will shew Him greater than these, that ye may wonder.
For the Father loveth the Son, and showeth him all things that himself doeth: and he will show him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.
21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead and giveth life: even so the Son maketh alive whom He pleaseth.
For as the Father raiseth the dead, and giveth life to them; even so the Son giveth life to whom he will.
22 For neither doth the Father judge any one, but hath committed all judgement to the Son;
For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment to the Son:
23 that all men may honour the Son, even as they honour the Father: he, that honoureth not the Son, honoureth not the Father that 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 who hath sent him.
24 Verily, verily I say unto you, he, that heareth my word, and believeth in Him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come under condemnation; but is passed from death to life. (aiōnios g166)
Verily, verily, I say to you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but hath passed from death to life. (aiōnios g166)
25 Verily, verily I tell you, that the time is coming, and even now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that hear shall live.
Verily, verily, I say to 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 as the Father hath life in Himself, so hath He given also to the Son to have life in Himself.
For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
27 And hath given Him authority also to execute judgement, because He is the Son of man.
And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
28 Wonder not at this; for the time is coming, in which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
29 and shall come forth, they that have done good to the resurrection of life, and they that have done evil to the resurrection of damnation.
And shall come forth; they that have done good, to the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, to the resurrection of damnation.
30 I can do nothing of my self: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father that hath sent me.
I can of my own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father who hath sent me.
31 If I alone bear witness of my self, my testimony is not true in law:
If I bear witness concerning myself, my witness is not true.
32 but there is another who testifieth concerning me; and I know that the testimony, which he giveth concerning me, is true.
There is another that beareth witness concerning me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth concerning me is true.
33 Ye your selves sent unto John, and he bore witness to the truth:
Ye sent to John, and he bore witness to the truth.
34 though I need not testimony from man; but I say these things that ye may be saved.
But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye may be saved.
35 He was indeed a burning and shining light, and for a while ye willingly rejoiced 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 a testimony greater than John's: for the works which the Father hath given me to perform, the very works which I do, bear witness of 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 concerning me, that the Father hath sent me.
37 And the Father who sent me, hath Himself borne witness of me: and yet ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.
And the Father himself, who hath sent me, hath borne witness concerning me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
38 And ye have not his word abiding in you; because ye believe not Him, whom He hath sent.
And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.
Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. (aiōnios g166)
40 and they testify of me: and yet ye will not come to me, that ye may have life.
And ye will not come to me, that ye may have life.
41 Though I desire not applause from men:
I receive not honour from men.
42 but I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another should 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, who receive applause from each other, and the glory which is from God only, ye seek not?
How can ye believe, who receive honour one from another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?
45 Think not that I shall accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.
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 believed Moses, ye would believe me; for he wrote concerning me:
For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote concerning me.
47 but if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
