< John 5 >

1 After these things, was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up unto Jerusalem.
After these things there was the 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 at Jerusalem, by the sheep-gate, a pool, which is called in Hebrew Bethzatha, having five porches.
3 In these, was lying a throng of them who were sick, —blind, lame, withered.
In these were lying a multitude of diseased persons, blind, lame, withered.
4
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 had had his infirmity thirty-eight years.
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?
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 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 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 saith unto him—Rise! take up thy couch, and be walking.
Jesus saith to him, Rise, 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 immediately the man was made well, and took up his bed, and walked. And that day was the sabbath.
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 him that was cured, It is the sabbath; and it is not lawful 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, He that made me well, the same said to me, Take up thy bed, and walk. T
12 They questioned him—Who is the man that said unto thee, Take up [thy couch], and be walking?
hey asked him, Who is the man that said to thee, Take up, 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But the diseased man knew not who it was; for Jesus had withdrawn himself, there being a crowd in the place.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.
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 And, on this account, were the Jews persecuting Jesus, because, these things, he had been doing, on Sabbath.
And on this account the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he did these things on the sabbath.
17 But, he, answered them—My Father, until even now, is working; and, I, am working.
But he answered them, My Father is working up to this time, 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.
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, 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.
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, 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 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, 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 raiseth up the dead, and giveth them life, so the Son also giveth life to whom he will.
22 For neither doth, the Father, judge anyone, —but, all the judging, hath given unto the Son:
For neither doth the Father judge any one, but hath committed 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.
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 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 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 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 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, 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 hath life in himself, so did he give to the Son also to have life in himself.
27 And, authority, hath he given him, to be executing, judgment, —because, Son of Man, is he!
And he 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; for the hour is coming, in which all that are in the tombs 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, they that have done good, to a resurrection of life; they that have done evil, to a resurrection of condemnation.
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 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, bear witness, concerning myself, my witness, is not, true.
If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
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 beareth witness of me; and ye know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.
33 Ye, have sent forth unto John, —and he hath borne witness to the truth: —
Ye have sent to John, and he hath borne witness to the truth.
34 I, however, not from man, my witness, receive; but, these things, I say, that, ye, 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, ye, were willing to exult, for an hour, in his light.
He was the burning and shining lamp: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice 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 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 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 who sent me, he hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.
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 abiding in you; for whom he sent, him ye believe not.
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 yourselves think that in them ye have everlasting life; and it is they which testify of me; (aiōnios g166)
40 And yet ye choose not to come unto me, that, life, ye may have.
and ye are not willing to come to me, that ye may have life.
41 Glory from men, am I not receiving; —
I receive not honor 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 in you.
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 receive me not; if another come in his own name, him ye will receive.
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 while ye receive honor from one another, and seek not the honor that is from him who alone is 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.
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 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 believe me; for he wrote of me.
47 But, if, in his writings, ye are not believing, how, in my sayings, will ye believe?
But if ye do not believe his writings, how will ye believe my words?
