| 5:1 |
After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
|
| 5:2 |
Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, in Hebrew called Beth-za'tha, which has five porticoes.
|
| 5:3 |
In these lay a multitude of invalids, blind, lame, paralyzed.
|
| 5:4 |
|
| 5:5 |
One man was there, who had been ill for thirty-eight years.
|
| 5:6 |
When Jesus saw him and knew that he had been lying there a long time, he said to him, 'Do you want to be healed?'
|
| 5:7 |
The sick man answered him, 'Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is troubled, and while I am going another steps down before me.'
|
| 5:8 |
Jesus said to him, 'Rise, take up your pallet, and walk.'
|
| 5:9 |
And at once the man was healed, and he took up his pallet and walked. Now that day was the sabbath.
|
| 5:10 |
So the Jews said to the man who was cured, 'It is the sabbath, it is not lawful for you to carry your pallet.'
|
| 5:11 |
But he answered them, 'The man who healed me said to me, Take up your pallet, and walk.''
|
| 5:12 |
They asked him, 'Who is the man who said to you, Take up your pallet, and walk'?'
|
| 5:13 |
Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, as there was a crowd in the place.
|
| 5:14 |
Afterward, Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, 'See, you are well! Sin no more, that nothing worse befall you.'
|
| 5:15 |
The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had healed him.
|
| 5:16 |
And this was why the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he did this on the sabbath.
|
| 5:17 |
But Jesus answered them, 'My Father is working still, and I am working.'
|
| 5:18 |
This was why the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the sabbath but also called God his Father, making himself equal with God.
|
| 5:19 |
Jesus said to them, 'Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing;for whatever he does, that the Son does likewise.
|
| 5:20 |
For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all that he himself is doing;and greater works than these will he show him, that you may marvel.
|
| 5:21 |
For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom he will.
|
| 5:22 |
The Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son,
|
| 5:23 |
that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.
|
| 5:24 |
Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me, has eternal life;he does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.
|
| 5:25 |
'Truly, truly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.
|
| 5:26 |
For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself,
|
| 5:27 |
and has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of man.
|
| 5:28 |
Do not marvel at this;for the hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice
|
| 5:29 |
and come forth, those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment.
|
| 5:30 |
'I can do nothing on my own authority;as I hear, I judge;and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me.
|
| 5:31 |
If I bear witness to myself, my testimony is not true;
|
| 5:32 |
there is another who bears witness to me, and I know that the testimony which he bears to me is true.
|
| 5:33 |
You sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth.
|
| 5:34 |
Not that the testimony which I receive is from man;but I say this that you may be saved.
|
| 5:35 |
He was a burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.
|
| 5:36 |
But the testimony which I have is greater than that of John;for the works which the Father has granted me to accomplish, these very works which I am doing, bear me witness that the Father has sent me.
|
| 5:37 |
And the Father who sent me has himself borne witness to me. His voice you have never heard, his form you have never seen;
|
| 5:38 |
and you do not have his word abiding in you, for you do not believehim whom he has sent.
|
| 5:39 |
You search the scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life;and it is they that bear witness to me;
|
| 5:40 |
yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life.
|
| 5:41 |
I do not receive glory from men.
|
| 5:42 |
But I know that you have not the love of God within you.
|
| 5:43 |
I have come in my Father's name, and you do not receive me;if another comes in his own name, him you will receive.
|
| 5:44 |
How can you believe, who receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?
|
| 5:45 |
Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father;it is Moses who accuses you, on whom you set your hope.
|
| 5:46 |
If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote of me.
|
| 5:47 |
But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?'
