< John 5 >

1 After these things there was the feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
After these things was the feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up into Jerusalem.
2 Now there is at Jerusalem, by the sheep-gate, a pool, which is called in Hebrew Bethzatha, having five porches.
And there is a pool at the sheep-market, called in Hebrew Bethzatha, having five porches.
3 In these were lying a multitude of diseased persons, blind, lame, withered.
In them a multitude of the sick, blind, lame, withered, were lying down.
4
5 And a certain man was there, who had had his infirmity thirty-eight years.
And a certain man was there, being thirty-eight years in his infirmity;
6 Jesus saw this man lying there, and knowing that he had been for a long time diseased, saith to him, Dost thou wish to be made well?
Jesus seeing him lying down, and knowing that he already has much time, says to him; Do you wish to be whole?
7 The diseased 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 goeth down before me.
The sick man responded to Him, Lord, I have no man that may put me in the pool, when the water may be troubled: and while I come, another goes down before me.
8 Jesus saith to him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
And Jesus says to him, Arise, take thy bed, and walk about.
9 And immediately the man was made well, and took up his bed, and walked. And that day was the sabbath.
And the man was made whole, and he took up his bed and continued to walk about. And it was the Sabbath on that day.
10 The Jews therefore said to him that was cured, It is the sabbath; and it is not lawful for thee to take up the bed.
Then the Jews were saying to the healed man, It is the Sabbath, and it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.
11 He answered them, He that made me well, the same said to me, Take up thy bed, and walk. T
He responded to them, the one having made me whole, He said to me, Take thy bed, and walk about.
12 hey asked him, Who is the man that said to thee, Take up, and walk?
They asked him, Who is the man who said to thee, Take thy bed, and walk about?
13 But the diseased man knew not who it was; for Jesus had withdrawn himself, there being a crowd in the place.
And the sick man did not know who He is: for Jesus went out, the crowd being in the place.
14 Afterwards Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou art made well; sin no more, lest something worse befall thee.
And after these things, Jesus finds him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou hast been made whole: sin no more, lest something worse may come on thee.
15 The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
And the man departed, and said to the Jews, that Jesus is the one having made him whole.
16 And on this account the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he did these things on the sabbath.
And on account of this the Jews continued to persecute Jesus, because He was doing these things on the Sabbath.
17 But he answered them, My Father is working up to this time, and I work.
And He responded to them, My Father worketh until now, and I work.
18 On this account the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only broke the sabbath, but also said that God was his own Father, making himself equal with God.
Therefore the Jews the more sought to kill Him, because He not only broke the Sabbath, but said that God was His Father, making himself equal to God.
19 Then answered Jesus and said to them, Truly, truly do I say to you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father doing; for whatever He doeth, these things the Son also doeth in like manner;
Then Jesus responded and said to them, Truly, truly, I say unto you, The Son is not able to do anything Himself, unless He may see the Father doing it: for whatsoever He may do, the Son likewise also doeth the same.
20 for the Father loveth the Son, and showeth him all things which he himself doeth; and greater works than these will he show him, so that ye will wonder.
For the Father loveth the Son, and showeth Him all things which He doeth; and will show Him greater things than these, in order that you may be astonished.
21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and giveth them life, so the Son also giveth life to whom he will.
For as the Father raiseth up the dead and createth life in them, so the Son also createth life in whom He will.
22 For neither doth the Father judge any one, but hath committed all judgment to the Son;
For the Father judgeth no one, for He hath given all judgment to the Son;
23 that all may honor the Son, as they honor the Father. He that honoreth not the Son, honoreth not the Father, who sent him.
in order that all may honor the Son, as they may honor the Father. He that honoreth not the Son honoreth not the Father who sent Him.
24 Truly, truly do I say to you, He that heareth my word, and believeth him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and cometh not into condemnation, but hath passed out of death into life. (aiōnios g166)
Truly, truly, I say unto you, that every one hearing my word, and believing on Him that sent me hath eternal life, and doth not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life. (aiōnios g166)
25 Truly, truly do I say to you, The hour is coming and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and they that hear will live.
Truly, truly, I say unto you, that the hour cometh and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and having heard will live.
26 For as the Father hath life in himself, so did he give to the Son also to have life in himself.
For as the Father hath life in Himself, so also He has given to His Son to have life also in Himself.
27 And he gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man.
And He hath given Him authority to execute the judgment, because He is the Son of man.
28 Marvel not at this; for the hour is coming, in which all that are in the tombs will hear his voice,
Do not be astonished at this: because the hour cometh, in which all who are in their graves will hear His voice,
29 and will come forth, they that have done good, to a resurrection of life; they that have done evil, to a resurrection of condemnation.
and come forth; those having done good, unto the resurrection of life; and those having done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment.
30 I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will, but the will of him that sent me.
I am not able to do anything of myself: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is righteous; because I do not seek my own will, but the will of the One having sent me.
31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
If I testify concerning myself, my testimony is not true.
32 There is another who beareth witness of me; and ye know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.
There is another who testifieth concerning me; and you know that the testimony which He testifies concerning me is true.
33 Ye have sent to John, and he hath borne witness to the truth.
You sent to John, and he witnessed to the truth:
34 But the testimony which I receive is not from man; but these things I say, that ye may be saved.
but I do not receive the witness with man: but I speak these things that you may be saved.
35 He was the burning and shining lamp: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
He was a bright and shining light: and you were willing to rejoice for an hour in that light.
36 But the testimony which I have, is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father hath given me to perform, the works themselves which I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.
But I have a testimony greater than that of John: for the works that the Father hath given me that I may perfect them, these works which I do, testify concerning me, that the Father hath sent me.
37 And the Father who sent me, he hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.
And the Father having sent me, He hath testified concerning me: never have you heard His voice, neither have you seen His face:
38 And ye have not his word abiding in you; for whom he sent, him ye believe not.
and you have not His word abiding in you: because you do not believe Him whom He has sent.
39 Ye search the Scriptures, because ye yourselves think that in them ye have everlasting life; and it is they which testify of me; (aiōnios g166)
Search the Scriptures, because in them ye think ye have eternal life; and they are they which testify concerning me; (aiōnios g166)
40 and ye are not willing to come to me, that ye may have life.
and you do not wish to come unto me, in order that you may have life.
41 I receive not honor from men;
I do not receive glory with men;
42 but I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
but I know you that you have not the love of God in you.
43 I have come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not; if another come in his own name, him ye will receive.
I have come in the name of my Father, and you do not receive me: if another may come in his own name, you will receive him.
44 How can ye believe while ye receive honor from one another, and seek not the honor that is from him who alone is God?
How are you able to believe, receiving glory from one another, and do not seek the glory which is with God only?
45 Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye have placed your hope.
Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father; there is one accusing you, in whom you have hoped.
46 For if ye believed Moses, ye would believe me; for he wrote of me.
For if you were believing Moses, you were believing me; for he wrote concerning me.
47 But if ye do not believe his writings, how will ye believe my words?
For if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?
