< John 5 >

1 After these things, there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
ⲁ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲛⲉⲡϣⲁⲁ ⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲑⲓⲉⲣⲟⲩⲥⲁⲗⲏⲙ.
2 Now in Jerusalem by the sheep gate, there is a pool, which is called in Hebrew, “Bethesda”, having five porches.
ⲃ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲕⲟⲗⲩⲙⲃⲏⲑⲣⲁ ⲇⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲑⲓⲉⲣⲟⲩⲥⲁⲗⲏⲙ ϩⲓϫⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲣⲟⲃⲁⲧⲓⲕⲏ. ⲉϣⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲙⲛⲧ̅ϩⲉⲃⲣⲁⲓⲟⲥ ϫⲉⲃⲏⲇⲥⲁⲓ̈ⲇⲁ ⲉⲣⲉϯ (ⲛ)ⲥⲧⲟⲁ ϩⲓϫⲱⲥ.
3 In these lay a great multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, or paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water;
ⲅ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲕⲟⲧⲕ̅ ϩⲁⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ (ⲛ̅ⲛ)ⲉⲧϣⲱⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ϭⲁⲗⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲛ̅ⲃⲗ̅ⲗⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲛⲉⲧϣⲟⲩⲱⲟⲩ.
4 for an angel went down at certain times into the pool and stirred up the water. Whoever stepped in first after the stirring of the water was healed of whatever disease he had.
ⲇ̅
5 A certain man was there who had been sick for thirty-eight years.
ⲉ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲁϥⲣ̅ⲙⲁⲃϣⲙⲏⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲣⲟⲙⲡⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥϣⲱⲛⲉ.
6 When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had been sick for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to be made well?”
ⲋ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϥⲛ̅ⲕⲟⲧⲕ̅ ⲉⲁϥⲉ͡ⲓⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁϥⲱⲥⲕ. ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ. ϫⲉ ⲕⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ̈.
7 The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I’m coming, another steps down before me.”
ⲍ̅ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ̅ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲉⲧϣⲱⲛⲉ. ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ⲙⲛ̅ϯⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲣϣⲁⲡⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲧⲱϩ ⲉϥⲉⲛⲟϫⲧ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⲉⲧⲕⲟⲗⲩⲙⲃⲏⲑⲣⲁ. ϩⲟⲥⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϯⲛⲏⲩ. ϣⲁⲣⲉⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲣ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ̈ ⲉⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ.
8 Jesus said to him, “Arise, take up your mat, and walk.”
ⲏ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲁϥ. ϫⲉ ⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛⲅ̅ (ⲛⲅ̅)ϥⲓⲡⲉⲕϭⲗⲟϭ ⲛⲅ̅ⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ.
9 Immediately, the man was made well, and took up his mat and walked. Now that day was a Sabbath.
ⲑ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲁϥⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥϥⲓⲡⲉϥϭⲗⲟϭ ⲁϥⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ. ⲛⲉⲡⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ.
10 So the Jews said to him who was cured, “It is the Sabbath. It is not lawful for you to carry the mat.”
ⲓ̅ⲛⲉⲩϫⲱ ϭⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲗⲟ ϫⲉ ⲡⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲟⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲥ̅ⲧⲟ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲁⲛ ⲉϥⲓⲡⲉⲕϭⲗⲟϭ.
11 He answered them, “He who made me well said to me, ‘Take up your mat and walk.’”
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ̅ ⲛⲁⲩ. ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲗϭⲟⲓ̈. ⲡⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ϫⲉ ϥⲓⲡⲉⲕϭⲗⲟϭ ⲛⲅ̅ⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ.
12 Then they asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Take up your mat and walk’?”
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲩϫⲛⲟⲩϥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲕ ϫⲉ ϥⲓⲧϥ̅ ⲛⲅ̅ⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ.
13 But he who was healed didn’t know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a crowd being in the place.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲗⲟ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉ. ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲉⲁϥⲥⲉϩⲧϥ̅. ⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ.
14 Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, “Behold, you are made well. Sin no more, so that nothing worse happens to you.”
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲁⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ϩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲣⲡⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓⲥϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲁⲕⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ̈. ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲕⲟⲧⲕ̅ ⲉⲣⲛⲟⲃⲉ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲛⲉⲡⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲕ.
15 The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲁϥⲧⲁⲙⲉⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ϫⲉ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲗϭⲟⲓ̈.
16 For this cause the Jews persecuted Jesus and sought to kill him, because he did these things on the Sabbath.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ⲇⲓⲱⲕⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲓⲥ̅ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲉ͡ⲓⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲟⲛ.
17 But Jesus answered them, “My Father is still working, so I am working, too.”
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ̅ ⲛⲁⲩ. ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ⲱⲧ ⲣ̅ϩⲱⲃ ϣⲁϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϯⲣ̅ϩⲱⲃ.
18 For this cause therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the Sabbath, but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ϭⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲛⲉⲩϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱϥ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧϥ̅ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲙⲟⲛⲟⲛ ⲛⲉϥⲃⲱⲗ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲟⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲟⲛ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲉ͡ⲓⲱⲧ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉϥϣⲱϣ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
19 Jesus therefore answered them, “Most certainly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father doing. For whatever things he does, these the Son also does likewise.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ̅ ϭⲉ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲓⲥ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ. ϫⲉ ϩⲁⲙⲏⲛ ϩⲁⲙⲏⲛ ϯϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ϫⲉ ⲙⲛϣϭⲟⲙ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲉⲣⲗⲁⲁⲩ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲟⲩⲁⲁϥ. ⲉⲓⲙⲏⲧⲓ ⲛ̅ϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲉϥⲓⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ. ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲁⲁⲁⲩ. ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲱⲱϥ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ϩⲟⲙⲟⲓⲱⲥ ϥⲛⲁⲁⲁⲩ.
20 For the Father has affection for the Son, and shows him all things that he himself does. He will show him greater works than these, that you may marvel.
ⲕ̅ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ϥⲧⲥⲁⲃⲟ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲉϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧϥ̅ⲉ͡ⲓⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ϥⲛⲁⲧⲥⲁⲃⲟϥ ⲉϩⲉⲛϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲉⲛⲁⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲛⲁⲓ̈ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉⲣϣⲡⲏⲣⲉ.
21 For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom he desires.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉϣⲁⲣⲉⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲧⲟⲩⲛⲉⲥⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛϥ̅ⲧⲁⲛϩⲟⲟⲩ. ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲟⲛ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲁⲧⲁⲛϩⲉⲛⲉⲧϥ̅ⲟⲩⲁϣⲟⲩ.
22 For the Father judges no one, but he has given all judgment to the Son,
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲱⲧ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲧⲉⲕⲣⲓⲥⲓⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲥ̅ ⲁϥⲧⲁⲁⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ
23 that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who doesn’t honor the Son doesn’t honor the Father who sent him.

24 “Most certainly I tell you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life, and doesn’t come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life. (aiōnios g166)
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ϩⲁⲙⲏⲛ ϩⲁⲙⲏⲛ ϯϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲡⲁϣⲁϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲟⲩⲟⲉ͡ⲓ. ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲱⲛϩ ϣⲁⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ϥⲛⲏⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲕⲣⲓⲥⲓⲥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁϥⲡⲱⲱⲛⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲟⲩ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲱⲛϩ. (aiōnios g166)
25 Most certainly I tell you, the hour comes, and now is, when the dead will hear the Son of God’s voice; and those who hear will live.
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ϩⲁⲙⲏⲛ ϩⲁⲙⲏⲛ ϯϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲛⲁⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲧⲉⲥⲙⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲁⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲱⲛϩ.
26 For as the Father has life in himself, even so he gave to the Son also to have life in himself.
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲓⲱⲧⲡⲱⲛϩ ϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅. ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲟⲛ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϯ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥⲕⲱ ⲛⲁϥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲱⲛϩ ϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅.
27 He also gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man.

28 Don’t marvel at this, for the hour comes in which all who are in the tombs will hear his voice
ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲣ̅ϣⲡⲏⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧϩⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲫⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲧⲉϥⲥⲙⲏ
29 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 I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and my judgment is righteous, because I don’t seek my own will, but the will of my Father who sent me.

31 “If I testify about myself, my witness is not valid.

36 But the testimony which I have is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father gave me to accomplish, the very works that I do, testify about me, that the Father has sent me.

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