Some
time
later
there was a feast of the Jews ,
and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
After
this
there was a feast of the Jews ;
and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
Now there is in
Jerusalem near
the Sheep Gate
a pool with
five
covered
colonnades
, which in
Hebrew
is called Bethesda.
Now there is at
Jerusalem by
the sheep market
a pool, which is called in
the
Hebrew
tongue
Bethesda ,
having
five
porches
.
On
these walkways
lay a great number
of the
sick
, the
blind, the
lame
, and
the paralyzed
.
In
these lay a great multitude
of impotent
folk
, of
blind, halt
, withered,
waiting
for
the moving
of
the
water
.

For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.
One
man there had been
an invalid
for
thirty -
eight years.
And
a
certain
man was
there ,
which
had an infirmity
thirty and
eight years.
When Jesus saw him lying
there
and realized
that he had spent
a long time in this
condition
, He asked
him, “Do
you
want
to
get
well
? ”
When Jesus saw him lie,
and knew
that he had been
now
a long time in that
case
, he saith
unto
him, Wilt
thou
be
made
whole
?
“Sir,”
the invalid
replied
, “
I have no one
to help
me into the pool when
the
water
is
stirred.
While I am on
my
way
, someone
else
goes
in
before me. ”
The impotent
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
steppeth
down
before me.
Then
Jesus told
him, “Get
up
, pick
up your
mat
, and walk. ”
Jesus saith
unto
him, Rise
, take
up thy
bed
, and walk.
Immediately the man was made well
, and he
picked
up his mat
and began
to
walk.
Now
this
happened
on the Sabbath
day ,
And
immediately the man was made whole
, and took
up his bed,
and walked:
and
on the same
day was
the
sabbath.
so
the Jews said to
the
man
who
had
been
healed
, “This
is the Sabbath !
It is unlawful
for you
to carry your
mat
. ”
The Jews therefore
said unto
him
that
was
cured
, It
is the sabbath day:
it is not
lawful
for thee
to carry thy
bed
.
But
he answered, “The
man
who
made me well
told
me, ‘Pick
up your
mat
and walk. ’”
He answered them
, He
that
made me whole,
the
same
said
unto
me, Take
up thy
bed,
and walk.
“Who
is
this
man who
told
you
to
pick
it
up and walk? ”
they
asked.
Then
asked
they
him,
What
man is
that
which
said
unto
thee,
Take
up thy
bed,
and walk?
But
the
man
who
was healed did
not know
who it was ,
for Jesus had slipped
away while
the
crowd
was
there
.
And
he
that
was healed wist
not who it was :
for Jesus had conveyed
himself
away ,
a
multitude
being
in
that
place
.
Afterward ,
Jesus found
the
man
at
the temple and said to
him, “See
, you
have
been
made well.
Stop
sinning
, or
something
worse may
happen
to
you
. ”
Afterward Jesus findeth
him
in
the temple ,
and said unto
him, Behold
, thou
art
made whole:
sin
no
more
, lest
a
worse thing
come
unto
thee
.
And
the man went
away
and told the Jews that it was Jesus who
had made him well
.
The man departed,
and told the Jews that it was Jesus ,
which
had made him whole
.
Now
because
Jesus was
doing
these things on the Sabbath ,
the
Jews
began
to
persecute
Him
.
And
therefore
did
the
Jews
persecute
Jesus ,
and
sought
to
slay
him,
because
he
had
done
these things on the sabbath day
.
But Jesus answered them, “To
this
very
day
My Father is
at
His
work
, and I too
am
working
. ”
But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh
hitherto
, and I work
.
Because
of
this,
the Jews tried
all
the harder
to kill Him .
Not only was
He
breaking
the Sabbath, but He
was
even
calling
God His own
Father, making Himself equal with God.
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.
So
Jesus replied
, “Truly
, truly
, I tell
you, the Son can do nothing by
Himself, unless
He sees
the Father doing
it.
For whatever
the
Father
does
, the Son also
does
.
Then
answered
Jesus and
said
unto
them
, Verily
, verily
, I say
unto
you, The Son can do nothing of
himself, but
what
he seeth
the Father do:
for what
things
soever
he
doeth
, these
also
doeth
the Son likewise
.
The Father loves
the Son and shows
Him all He
does.
And to
your
amazement,
He will show
Him even
greater works than these.
For
the Father loveth
the Son ,
and sheweth
him all things
that
himself
doeth:
and he will shew
him greater works than these ,
that
ye
may
marvel
.
For just
as the Father raises
the dead and gives
them life,
so also
the Son gives
life
to
whom He wishes
.
For as the Father raiseth
up
the dead ,
and quickeneth
them ;
even
so the Son quickeneth
whom he will
.
Furthermore,
the Father judges
no one
, but has
assigned
all judgment to
the Son ,
For
the Father judgeth
no man
, but hath
committed
all judgment unto
the Son :
so
that all may
honor
the Son just
as they honor
the Father. Whoever
does
not honor
the Son does
not honor
the Father who
sent Him.
That all men
should
honour
the Son ,
even
as they honour
the Father. He
that
honoureth
not the Son honoureth
not the Father which
hath
sent him.
Truly
, truly
, I tell
you, whoever
hears
My word and believes
Him who
sent Me has
eternal
life and will
not come under
judgment.
Indeed,
he
has
crossed
over
from death to
life.
Verily
, verily
, I say
unto
you, He
that
heareth
my word ,
and believeth
on
him that
sent me ,
hath
everlasting
life ,
and shall
not come into
condemnation;
but
is
passed
from death unto
life.
Truly
, truly
, I tell
you, the hour is coming and has
now come
when the dead will
hear the voice of the Son of God ,
and those
who
hear will
live.
Verily
, verily
, I say
unto
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.
For as the Father has
life in Himself ,
so also
He has
granted
the Son to have life in Himself .
For as the Father hath
life in himself ;
so hath
he given
to
the Son to have life in himself ;
And He
has
given Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man.
And hath
given him authority to execute judgment also
, because he is the Son of man.
Do
not be
amazed
at this ,
for the hour is coming when
all who
are in their
graves will
hear His voice
Marvel
not at this :
for the hour is coming ,
in
the
which
all that
are in the
graves shall
hear his voice ,
and come out—those
who
have done good to
the resurrection of life ,
and those
who
have done evil to
the resurrection of judgment
.
And shall
come forth;
they
that
have done good ,
unto
the resurrection of life ;
and they
that
have done evil ,
unto
the resurrection of damnation
.
I can do nothing by
Myself;
I
judge
only
as I hear .
And My judgment is just ,
because I do
not
seek My
own will, but the will of Him
who
sent Me.
I can of
mine
own
self
do nothing :
as I hear ,
I
judge:
and my judgment is just ;
because I seek not
mine
own will, but the will of the
Father
which
hath
sent me.
If I testify
about
Myself, My testimony
is not valid
.
If I bear
witness
of
myself, my witness
is not true
.
There is another who
testifies
about
Me ,
and I know that His
testimony
about
Me is valid
.
There is another that
beareth
witness
of
me ;
and I know that the
witness
which
he
witnesseth
of
me is true
.
You
have
sent to
John, and he has
testified
to
the truth.
Ye
sent unto
John, and he bare
witness
unto
the truth.
Even
though
I do
not accept
human
testimony ,
I
say
these things so
that you
may
be saved.
But
I receive
not testimony from
man:
but
these things I
say,
that ye
might
be saved.
John
was a lamp
that
burned
and gave
light ,
and you
were willing for a season to bask
in his light.
He
was a burning
and a
shining
light :
and ye
were willing for a season to rejoice
in his light.
But I have testimony
more
substantial
than that of John .
For the works that
the Father has
given Me to accomplish—
the very
works I am
doing—testify
about
Me that the Father has
sent Me.
But I have greater
witness
than that of John :
for the works which
the Father hath
given me to finish,
the same
works that
I do,
bear
witness
of
me ,
that the Father hath
sent me.
And the Father who
sent Me has
Himself
testified
about
Me. You
have never
heard His voice nor seen His form,
And the Father himself,
which
hath
sent me ,
hath
borne
witness
of
me. Ye
have neither
heard his voice at
any
time,
nor seen his shape.
nor
does
His word abide
in you ,
because
you
do
not
believe
the
One
He sent.
And
ye
have
not
his word abiding
in you :
for
whom
he hath
sent ,
him
ye
believe
not
.
You
pore
over
the Scriptures because
you
presume
that
by
them you
possess
eternal life .
These
are the
very
words
that
testify about
Me ,
Search
the scriptures ;
for
in
them ye
think
ye
have
eternal life :
and
they
are they
which
testify of
me .
yet
you
refuse
to
come to Me to
have life.
And
ye
will
not
come to me ,
that
ye
might
have life.
I do
not accept
glory
from men ,
I receive
not honour
from men .
but I know you, that you
do
not
have the love of God within
you.
But I know you, that ye
have not
the love of God in
you.
I have
come in My Father’s
name, and you
have
not
received
Me ;
but
if someone
else
comes
in his own name, you
will receive him
.
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.
How can you
believe if
you
accept
glory
from
one another, yet
do
not
seek the glory
that comes
from the
only
God?
How can ye
believe ,
which
receive
honour
one of
another, and
seek not
the honour
that cometh
from God only
?
Do not think that I will accuse you before
the Father .
Your
accuser
is Moses, in whom you
have
put
your
hope
.
Do not think that I will accuse you to
the Father :
there
is one
that
accuseth
you,
even
Moses, in whom ye
trust
.
If
you
had believed Moses, you
would believe
Me ,
because
he wrote about
Me.
For
had ye
believed Moses, ye
would have
believed
me ;
for
he wrote of
me.
But since
you
do
not
believe what
he
wrote
, how will
you
believe what
I
say
? ”
But if
ye
believe not
his
writings
, how shall
ye
believe my
words
?
