| 5:1 |
After this there was a feast of the Jews: and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
|
| 5:2 |
Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep [market] a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue, Bethesda, having five porches.
|
| 5:3 |
In these lay a great multitude of impotent persons, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.
|
| 5:4 |
For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and agitated the water: whoever then first after the stirring of the water stepped in, was cured of whatever disease he had.
|
| 5:5 |
And a certain man was there, who had an infirmity thirty and eight years.
|
| 5:6 |
When Jesus saw him lying, and knew that he had been now a long time [in that case], he saith to him, Wilt thou be healed?
|
| 5:7 |
The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is agitated, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.
|
| 5:8 |
Jesus saith to him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
|
| 5:9 |
And immediately the man was healed, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.
|
| 5:10 |
The Jews therefore said to him that was cured, it is the sabbath; it is not lawful for thee to carry [thy] bed.
|
| 5:11 |
He answered them, He that healed me, the same said to me, Take up thy bed, and walk.
|
| 5:12 |
Then they asked him, What man is that who said to thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?
|
| 5:13 |
And he that was healed knew not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in [that] place.
|
| 5:14 |
Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou art cured: sin no more, lest a worse thing come to thee.
|
| 5:15 |
The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had healed him.
|
| 5:16 |
And therefore the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath.
|
| 5:17 |
But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
|
| 5:18 |
Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
|
| 5:19 |
Then answered Jesus, and said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, The Son can do nothing by himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for whatever things he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
|
| 5:20 |
For the Father loveth the Son, and showeth him all things that himself doeth: and he will show him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.
|
| 5:21 |
For as the Father raiseth the dead, and reviveth [them]; even so the Son reviveth whom he will.
|
| 5:22 |
For the Father judgeth no man; but hath committed all judgment to the Son:
|
| 5:23 |
That all [men] should honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He that honoreth not the Son, honoreth not the Father who hath sent him.
|
| 5:24 |
Verily, verily, I say to you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but hath passed from death to life.
|
| 5:25 |
Verily, verily, I say to you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
|
| 5:26 |
For as the Father hath life in himself, so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
|
| 5:27 |
And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
|
| 5:28 |
Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
|
| 5:29 |
And shall come forth; they that have done good to the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, to the resurrection of damnation.
|
| 5:30 |
I can of my own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father who hath sent me.
|
| 5:31 |
If I testify concerning myself, my testimony is not true.
|
| 5:32 |
There is another that testifieth concerning me, and I know that the testimony which he beareth concerning me is true.
|
| 5:33 |
Ye sent to John, and he testified to the truth.
|
| 5:34 |
But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye may be saved.
|
| 5:35 |
He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
|
| 5:36 |
But I have greater testimony than [that] of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear testimony concerning me, that the Father hath sent me.
|
| 5:37 |
And the Father himself who hath sent me, hath borne testimony concerning me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
|
| 5:38 |
And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.
|
| 5:39 |
Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
|
| 5:40 |
And ye will not come to me, that ye may have life.
|
| 5:41 |
I receive not honor from men.
|
| 5:42 |
But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
|
| 5:43 |
I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
|
| 5:44 |
How can ye believe, who receive honor one from another, and seek not the honor that [cometh] from God only?
|
| 5:45 |
Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is [one] that accuseth you, [even] Moses, in whom ye trust.
|
| 5:46 |
For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote concerning me.
|
| 5:47 |
But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
