John 5

1 After these things, there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

After these things there was the feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

2 Now in Jerusalem by the sheep gate, there is a pool, which is called in Hebrew, “Bethesda”, having five porches.

Now there is at Jerusalem, by the sheep-gate, a pool, which is called in Hebrew Bethzatha, having five porches.

3 In these lay a great multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, or paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water;

In these were lying a multitude of diseased persons, blind, lame, withered.

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.

5 A certain man was there who had been sick for thirty-eight years.

And a certain man was there, who had had his infirmity thirty-eight years.

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?”

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?

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.”

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.

8 Jesus said to him, “Arise, take up your mat, and walk.”

Jesus saith to him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.

9 Immediately, the man was made well, and took up his mat and walked. Now that day was a Sabbath.

And immediately the man was made well, and took up his bed, and walked. And that day was the sabbath.

10 So the Jews said to him who was cured, “It is the Sabbath. It is not lawful for you to carry the mat.”

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.

11 He answered them, “He who made me well said to me, ‘Take up your mat and walk.’”

He answered them, He that made me well, the same said to me, Take up thy bed, and walk. T

12 Then they asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Take up your mat and walk’?”

hey asked him, Who is the man that said to thee, Take up, and walk?

13 But he who was healed didn’t know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a crowd being in the place.

But the diseased man knew not who it was; for Jesus had withdrawn himself, there being a crowd in the place.

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.”

Afterwards Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou art made well; sin no more, lest something worse befall thee.

15 The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

16 For this cause the Jews persecuted Jesus and sought to kill him, because he did these things on the Sabbath.

And on this account the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he did these things on the sabbath.

17 But Jesus answered them, “My Father is still working, so I am working, too.”

But he answered them, My Father is working up to this time, and I work.

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.

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.

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.

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;

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.

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.

21 For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom he desires.

For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and giveth them life, so the Son also giveth life to whom he will.

22 For the Father judges no one, but he has given all judgment to the Son,

For neither doth the Father judge any one, but hath committed all judgment to the Son;

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.

that all may honor the Son, as they honor the Father. He that honoreth not the Son, honoreth not 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)

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)

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.

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.

26 For as the Father has life in himself, even so he gave to the Son also to have life in himself.

For as the Father hath life in himself, so did he give to the Son also to have life in himself.

27 He also gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man.

And he 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

Marvel not at this; for the hour is coming, in which all that are in the tombs will hear his voice,

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.

and will come forth, they that have done good, to a resurrection of life; they that have done evil, to a resurrection of condemnation.

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.

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.

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

If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.

32 It is another who testifies about me. I know that the testimony which he testifies about me is true.

There is another who beareth witness of me; and ye know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.

33 You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.

Ye have sent to John, and he hath borne witness to the truth.

34 But the testimony which I receive is not from man. However, I say these things that you may be saved.

But the testimony which I receive is not from man; but these things I say, that ye may be saved.

35 He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.

He was the burning and shining lamp: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.

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.

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.

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

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.

38 You don’t have his word living in you, because you don’t believe him whom he sent.

And ye have not his word abiding in you; for whom he sent, him ye believe not.

39 “You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and these are they which testify about me. (aiōnios g166)

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)

40 Yet you will not come to me, that you may have life.

and ye are not willing to come to me, that ye may have life.

41 I don’t receive glory from men.

I receive not honor from men;

42 But I know you, that you don’t have God’s love in yourselves.

but I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.

43 I have come in my Father’s name, and you don’t receive me. If another comes in his own name, you will receive him.

I have come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not; if another come in his own name, him ye will receive.

44 How can you believe, who receive glory from one another, and you don’t seek the glory that comes from the only God?

How can ye believe while ye receive honor from one another, and seek not the honor that is from him who alone is God?

45 “Don’t think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you, even Moses, on whom you have set your hope.

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.

46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote about me.

For if ye believed Moses, ye would believe me; for he wrote of me.

47 But if you don’t believe his writings, how will you believe my words?”

But if ye do not believe his writings, how will ye believe my words?
