John 5
1 After these things there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
After these things 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.
and there is in Jerusalem by the sheep -[gate] a pool that is called in Hebrew 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 were lying a great multitude of the ailing, 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 a messenger at a set time was going down in the pool, and was troubling the water, the first then having gone in after the troubling of the water, became whole of whatever sickness he was held.
5 And there was a man who had been under illness thirty eight years.
and there was a certain man there being in ailment 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?
him Jesus having seen lying, and having known that he is already a long time, he saith to him, 'Dost thou wish to become whole?'
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 ailing man answered him, 'Sir, I have no man, that, when the water may be troubled, he may put me into the pool, and while I am coming, another doth go down before me.'
8 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
Jesus saith to him, 'Rise, take up thy couch, and be walking;'
9 And immediately the man was cured: and he took up his bed and walked.
and immediately the man became whole, and he took up his couch, and was walking, and it was a sabbath on that day,
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 then said to him that hath been healed, 'It is a sabbath; it is not lawful to thee to take up the couch.'
11 He answered them, He, that made me well, said unto me, Take up thy bed and walk.
He answered them, 'He who made me whole — that one said to me, Take up thy couch, and be walking;'
12 Therefore they asked him, Who is the man that said to thee, Take up thy bed and walk?
they questioned him, then, 'Who is the man who is saying to thee, Take up thy couch and be walking?'
13 but he, that was healed, did not know who it was: for Jesus had withdrawn himself, there being many people in the place.
But he that was healed had not known who he is, for Jesus did move away, a multitude being in the 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.
After these things, Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said to him, 'Lo, thou hast become whole; sin no more, lest something worse may happen to thee.'
15 And the man went away, and told the Jews, that it was Jesus who had healed him.
The man went away, and told the Jews that it is Jesus who made him whole,
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 because of this were the Jews persecuting Jesus, and seeking to kill him, because these things he was doing on a sabbath.
17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh without intermission, and so do I.
And Jesus answered them, 'My Father till now doth work, 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.
because of this, then, were the Jews seeking the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the sabbath, but he also called God his own Father, making himself equal to 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.
Jesus therefore responded and said to them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, The Son is not able to do anything of himself, if he may not see the Father doing anything; for whatever things He may do, these also the Son in like manner doth;
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 doth love the Son, and doth shew to him all things that He himself doth; and greater works than these He will shew him, that ye may wonder.
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 doth raise the dead, and doth make alive, so also the Son doth make alive whom he willeth;
22 For neither doth the Father judge any one, but hath committed all judgement to the Son;
for neither doth the Father judge any one, but all the judgment He hath given 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 may honour the Son according as they honour the Father; he who is not honouring the Son, doth not honour the Father who 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 who is hearing my word, and is believing Him who sent me, hath life age-during, and to judgment he doth not come, but hath passed out of the death to the 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 — There cometh an hour, and it now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and those having heard 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 He gave also 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 authority He gave him also to do judgment, because he is 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,
'Wonder not at this, because there doth come an hour in which all those in the tombs 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 they shall come forth; those who did the good things to a rising again of life, and those who practised the evil things to a rising again of judgment.
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 am not able of myself to do anything; according as I hear I judge, and my judgment is righteous, because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father who sent me.
31 If I alone bear witness of my self, my testimony is not true in law:
'If I testify concerning myself, my testimony 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.
another there is who is testifying concerning me, and I have known that the testimony that he doth testify concerning me is true;
33 Ye your selves sent unto John, and he bore witness to the truth:
ye have sent unto John, and he hath testified to the truth.
34 though I need not testimony from man; but I say these things that ye may be saved.
'But I do not receive 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 the burning and shining lamp, and ye did will to be glad, for an hour, 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 the testimony greater than John's, for the works that the Father gave me, that I might finish them, the works themselves that I do, they testify 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 who sent me Himself hath testified concerning me; ye have neither heard His voice at any time, nor His appearance have ye seen;
38 And ye have not his word abiding in you; because ye believe not Him, whom He hath sent.
and His word ye have not remaining in you, because whom He sent, him ye do not believe.
'Ye search the Writings, because ye think in them to have life age-during, and these are they that are testifying concerning me; (aiōnios g166)
40 and they testify of me: and yet ye will not come to me, that ye may have life.
and ye do not will to come unto me, that ye may have life;
41 Though I desire not applause from men:
glory from man I do not receive,
42 but I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
but I have known you, that the love of God ye have not in yourselves.
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 have come in the name of my Father, and ye do not receive me; if another may 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 are ye able — ye — to believe, glory from one another receiving, and the glory that [is] from God alone ye seek not?
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 unto the Father; there is who is accusing you, Moses — in whom ye have hoped;
46 For if ye believed Moses, ye would believe me; for he wrote concerning me:
for if ye were believing Moses, ye would have been believing me, for he wrote concerning me;
47 but if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
but if his writings ye believe not, how shall ye believe my sayings?'
