John 5
1 After these things, was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up unto Jerusalem.
After these things there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 Now there is in Jerusalem, at the Sheep-gate, a pool, which is called in Hebrew Bethzatha, —having, five porches.
Now there is in Jerusalem by the place pertaining to sheep, a pool, which is called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five porches.
3 In these, was lying a throng of them who were sick, —blind, lame, withered.
In these lay a great multitude of those who are feeble, blind, lame, withered, waiting for the movement of the water.
For an agent went down at a certain time into the pool, and agitated the water. Therefore the first man who stepped in after the agitation of the water became well from whatever affliction he had.
5 And there was a certain man there, who, for thirty-eight years, had continued in his sickness.
And a certain man was there who was thirty-eight years in the weakness.
6 Jesus, seeing, this one, lying, and taking note that now, a long time, had he continued, saith unto him—Desirest thou to be made, well?
When Jesus saw this man lying down, and knew that he fares now a long time, he says to him, Do thou desire to become well?
7 The sick man answered him—Sir! I have, no man, that, as soon as the water hath been troubled, might thrust me into the pool; but, while, I, am coming, another, before me, goeth down.
The infirmed man answered him, Sir, I have no man so that when the water is agitated he might put me into the pool, but while I am coming another steps down before me.
8 Jesus saith unto him—Rise! take up thy couch, and be walking.
Jesus says to him, Arise, take up thy bed and walk.
9 And, straightway, the man was made well and took up his couch, and began to walk. Now it was Sabbath, on that day.
And straightaway the man became well, and took up his bed and walked. Now it was sabbath on that day.
10 The Jews, therefore, were saying, unto him who had been cured—It is, Sabbath; and it is not allowable for thee to take up thy couch: —
The Jews therefore said to the man who was cured, It is sabbath. It is not permitted for thee to take up the bed.
11 who, however, answered them—He that made me well, he, unto me, said—Take up thy couch, and be walking.
He answered them, The man who made me well, that man said to me, Take up thy bed and walk.
12 They questioned him—Who is the man that said unto thee, Take up [thy couch], and be walking?
Therefore they asked him, Who is the man who said to thee, Take up thy bed and walk?
13 But, the healed one, knew not, who, it was; for, Jesus, had turned aside, a multitude, being in the place.
But the man who was healed had not known who he is, for Jesus withdrew, a multitude being in the place.
14 After these things, Jesus findeth him, in the temple, and said unto him—See! thou hast become, well: —No more, be committing sin, lest, some worse thing, do thee befall.
After these things Jesus finds him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou have become well. Sin no more, lest something worse may happen to thee.
15 The man went away, and told the Jews, that it was, Jesus, who had made him well.
The man departed and reported to the Jews that Jesus is the man who made him well.
16 And, on this account, were the Jews persecuting Jesus, because, these things, he had been doing, on Sabbath.
And because of this the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill him, because he did these things on a sabbath.
17 But, he, answered them—My Father, until even now, is working; and, I, am working.
But Jesus answered them, My Father works until now and I work.
18 On this account, therefore, the rather, were the Jews seeking to slay him, —because, not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but was calling God, his own Father, making, himself, equal, with, God.
Because of this therefore the Jews sought even more to kill him, because not only did he relax the sabbath, but also he called God his own Father, making himself equal to God.
19 Jesus, therefore, answered, and went on to say unto them—Verily, verily, I say unto you: The Son cannot be doing, of himself, a single thing, —save anything he may see, the Father, doing; for, whatsoever, he, may be doing, these things, the Son also, in like manner, doeth.
Jesus therefore answered and said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of himself, except what he sees the Father doing. For whatever he may do, the Son also does these things in like manner.
20 For, the Father, dearly loveth the Son, and, all things, pointeth out to him, which, himself, is doing; and, greater works than these, will he point out to him, that, ye, may marvel.
For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all things that he himself does. And he will show him works greater than these, so that ye may marvel.
21 For, just as the Father waketh up the dead, and quickeneth them, in like manner, the Son also, whom he pleaseth, doth quicken.
For as the Father raises up the dead and makes alive, so also the Son makes alive whom he will.
22 For neither doth, the Father, judge anyone, —but, all the judging, hath given unto the Son:
For neither does the Father judge any man, but he has given all judgment to the Son,
23 That, all, may honour the Son, just as they honour the Father: he that doth not honour the Son, doth not, in fact, honour the Father who sent him.
so that all would honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. The man not honoring the Son, does not honor 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 life age-abiding, and, into judgment, cometh not, but hath passed over, out of death into life. (aiōnios g166)
Truly, truly, I say to you, that he who hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has eternal life. And he does not come into condemnation, but has passed from death into life. (aiōnios g166)
25 Verily, verily, I say unto you: There cometh an hour, and now is, when, the dead, shall hearken unto the voice of the Son of God, and, they who have hearkened, shall live.
Truly, truly, I say to you, that an hour comes, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.
26 For, just as, the Father, hath life, in himself, in like manner, unto the Son also, hath he given, life, to have, in himself;
For as the Father has life in himself, so also he gave to the Son to have life in himself.
27 And, authority, hath he given him, to be executing, judgment, —because, Son of Man, is he!
And he also gave him authority to execute judgment because he is a son of man.
28 Do not be marvelling at this: because there come an hour, in which, all they in the tombs, shall hearken unto his voice,
Marvel not at this, because an hour comes in which all those in the sepulchers will hear his voice,
29 and shall come forth, —they who, the good things, have done, unto a resurrection, of life; but, they who the corrupt things, have practised, unto a resurrection, of judgment.
and will come forth, those who have done right to a resurrection of life, and those who have practiced wrong to a resurrection of judgment.
30 I, cannot be doing, of myself, a single thing, —Just as I hear, I judge; and, my judging, is, just, —because I seek not my own will, but the will of him that sent me.
I can from myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge. And my judgment is righteous because I seek not my will, but the will of the Father who sent me.
31 If, I, bear witness, concerning myself, my witness, is not, true.
If I testify about myself, my witness is not valid.
32 Another, it is, who beareth witness concerning me, —and I know that, true, is the witness which he witnesseth concerning me.
There is another who testifies about me, and I know that the testimony that he testifies about me is valid.
33 Ye, have sent forth unto John, —and he hath borne witness to the truth: —
Ye have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.
34 I, however, not from man, my witness, receive; but, these things, I say, that, ye, may be saved: —
But I do not take the testimony from man. However, I say these things, so that ye may be saved.
35 He, was the burning and shining lamp, and, ye, were willing to exult, for an hour, in his light.
That man was the lamp that burns and shines, and ye were willing to rejoice for an hour in his light.
36 But, I, have, as my witness, something greater than John’s; for, the works which the Father hath given me, that I should complete them, —the works themselves which I am doing, bear witness concerning me, that, the Father, hath sent me.
But I have testimony greater than of John, for the works that the Father has given me so that I might complete them, the same works that I do, they testify about me that the Father has sent me.
37 And so, the Father who sent me, he, hath borne witness concerning me; Neither, a sound of him, at any time, have ye heard, nor, a form of him, have ye seen;
And the Father, he who sent me, has testified about me. Ye have neither heard his voice, nor have ever seen his appearance.
38 And, his word, ye have not, within you abiding—because, as touching him whom, he, sent, in him, ye, believe not.
And ye have not his word dwelling in you, because ye do not believe that man whom he sent for this.
39 Ye search the Scriptures, because, ye, think, by them, to have, life age-abiding; and, those [Scriptures], are they which bear witness concerning me: (aiōnios g166)
Ye search the scriptures, because ye think to have eternal life in them, and those are testifying about me. (aiōnios g166)
40 And yet ye choose not to come unto me, that, life, ye may have.
And ye will not come to me, so that ye may have life.
41 Glory from men, am I not receiving; —
I do not receive glory from men.
42 But I have taken knowledge of you, that, the love of God, ye have not, in yourselves: —
But I know you, that ye have not the love of God within yourselves.
43 I, have come, in the name of my Father, —and ye are not receiving me: If, another, shall come in his own name, him, ye will receive!
I have come in my Father's name, and ye do not accept me. If another man should come in his own name, ye will accept that man.
44 How can, ye, believe, —Glory from one another, receiving; and, the glory which is from the only God, are not seeking?
How can ye believe, who receive glory from each other, and seek not the glory from the only God?
45 Do not think that, I, will accuse you unto the Father: There, is, who accuseth you, even, Moses, —on whom, ye, have set your hope.
Think not that I will accuse you to the Father. The man who accuses you is Moses, in whom ye have hoped.
46 For, if ye had been believing, in Moses, ye would, in that case, have been believing, in me: for, concerning me, he wrote.
For if ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me, for that man wrote about me.
47 But, if, in his writings, ye are not believing, how, in my sayings, will ye believe?
But if ye believe not the writings of that man, how will ye believe my sayings?
