John 5

CHAPTER 5

Jesus Heals at Bethesda

1After these was a holiday of the Jews, and Jesus ascended unto Jerusalem. 2And there is in   Jerusalem at the sheep gate  a pool, the one being called in Hebrew, Bethesda, [²five ³stoas ¹having]. 3In these reclined [²multitude ¹a great]   being weak, blind, lame, withered, looking out for the [²of the ³water ¹movement]. 4For an angel at times came down in the pool, and disturbed the water. The one then first stepping in after the disturbance of the water [²sound ¹became] in whatsoever [²he was held ¹disease]. 5And there was a certain man there thirty and eight years being held in his feebleness. 6[³this one ²seeing   ¹Jesus] reclining, and knowing that [²a long ¹already] time he was held, says to him, Do you want [²sound ¹to be]? 7Answered him the one being invalid, O Lord, [²no man ¹I have], that whenever [³should be disturbed ¹the ²water] should lay me in the pool; [²in ³which time  ¹but] I come, another before me descends. 8[²says ³to him   ¹Jesus], Arise, lift   your litter and walk! 9And immediately [³became ⁴in health ¹the ²man], and he lifted   his litter, and walked. And it was the Sabbath on that   day. 10Then said the Jews to the one being cured, It is a Sabbath, it is not allowed for you to carry the litter. 11He responded to them, The one making me in health, that one told me, Carry   your litter, and walk! 12Then they asked him, Who is the man   having said to you, Carry   your litter and walk? 13But the one having been healed knew not who it is,   for Jesus turned away, of a multitude being in the place. 14After these things  [²finds ³him   ¹Jesus] in the temple, and he said to him, See, [²in health ¹you are], no longer sin, that nothing worse should happen to you! 15[³went forth ¹The ²man], and announced to the Jews that Jesus is the one making him in health.

The Jews Seek to Kill Jesus

16And on account of this [³persecuted   ⁴Jesus ¹the ²Jews], and sought to kill him; for these things  he did on a Sabbath. 17  But Jesus answered to them,   My father [²until ³now ¹works], and I work. 18On account of this then more [³sought ⁵him ¹the ²Jews ⁴to kill], for not only he untied the Sabbath, but also [⁴father ³his own ¹called   ²God], [³equal ²himself ¹making] to  God.

The Father and the Son

19Then answered   Jesus, and he said to them, Amen, amen, I say to you, [³is not able ¹The ²son] to do of himself anything, unless what he should see the father doing; for what ever that one should do, these also the son in like manner does. 20For the father is fond of the son, and [³all things  ¹shows ²to him] which he does; and greater [²than these ³he will show ⁴to him ¹works], that you should marvel. 21For as the father raises the dead, and restores to life; so also the son, whom he wants, he restores to life. 22For neither the father judges any one, but   all judgment he has given to the son; 23that all should esteem the son, as they esteem the father. The one not esteeming the son, esteems not the father   sending him. 24Amen, amen, I say to you, that the one  [²my word ¹hearing], and trusting in the one sending me, has [²life ¹eternal], and [²into ³judgment ¹comes not], but has crossed over from   death unto   life. 25Amen, amen, I say to you, that there comes an hour, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the son   of God, and the ones hearing shall live. 26For as the father has life in himself, so he gave also to the son [²life ¹to have] in himself; 27and [²authority ¹he gave] to him even [²judgment ¹to execute], for [²son ³of man ¹he is]. 28Do not wonder at this! For comes an hour in which all the ones in the tombs shall hear   his voice, 29and they shall exit; the ones   [²good things  ¹doing] unto a resurrection of life; but the ones   [²heedlessly ¹acting] unto a resurrection of judgment. 30Not am I able to do of myself anything. As I hear I judge; and   [²judgment   ¹my] is just, for I do not seek   [²will   ¹my], but the will of the [²sending me forth ¹father]. 31If I testify concerning myself,   my testimony is not true. 32There is another - the one testifying concerning me. And I know that [³is true ¹the ²testimony] which he testifies concerning me. 33You have sent to John, and he testifies the truth. 34But I do not [⁴from ⁵man ²the ³testimony ¹receive], and these things  I say, that you should be delivered. 35That one was the lamp   burning and shining, and you wanted to exult for an hour in   his light. 36But I have the testimony greater than  John; for the works which [³gave ⁴me ¹the ²father] that I should perfect them, [³themselves ¹the ²works] which I do testify concerning me, that the father has sent me. 37And the [²sending me forth ¹father], he has testified concerning me. Neither his voice have you heard at any time, nor his appearance have you seen. 38And   his word you have not abiding in you. For the one whom that one sent, in this one you do not believe. 39You search the scriptures that you think in them [³life ²eternal ¹to have], and these are the ones testifying concerning me. 40And you do not want to come to me, that [²life ¹you should have]. 41Glory from men I receive not. 42But I have known you, that the love   of God you have not in yourselves. 43I have come in the name   of my father, and you did not receive me. If another should come in   [²name   ¹his own], that one you will receive. 44How are you able to believe, [²glory ³from ⁴one another ¹receiving], and the glory, the one from the only God you do not seek? 45Do not think that I accuse you to the father! there is the one accusing you -- Moses, in whom you hope. 46For if you believed Moses, you would have believed in me; for concerning me that one wrote. 47But if   in that one's letters you believe not, how   [²in my ³sayings ¹shall you believe]?
