Young's Literal Translation
Some
time
later
there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem .
After
these
things
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 .
and
there is in Jerusalem by
the sheep -`
gate '
a pool that
is called in
Hebrew
Bethesda ,
having
five
porches,
On
these walkways
lay
a great number
of the sick
, the
blind, the
lame, and
the paralyzed.
in
these were
lying
a great multitude
of the ailing
, blind, lame, withered,
waiting
for
the moving
of
the
water,
Not present in BSB
for a messenger at a set time was going down in the pool, and was troubling the water, the first then having gone in after the troubling of the water, became whole of whatever sickness he was held.
One
man there had
been
an
invalid
for
thirty -
eight years .
and
there
was
a
certain
man there being
in
ailment
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
? ”
him Jesus
having
seen
lying ,
and having
known
that he is
already
a long time, he saith
to
him, `Dost
thou
wish
to become
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 ailing
man
answered
him
, `Sir,
I have no man,
that,
when
the
water
may
be
troubled,
he
may
put
me into the pool ,
and
while I am coming
, another
doth
go
down
before me. '
Then
Jesus told
him, “Get
up
, pick
up your
mat
, and walk.”
Jesus saith
to
him, `Rise
, take
up thy
couch
, and be
walking;'
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 became
whole
, and he took
up his couch,
and was
walking,
and
it
was
a
sabbath on
that
day,
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 then
said to him
that
hath
been healed, `It
is a
sabbath ;
it is not
lawful
to thee
to
take
up
the
couch
. '
But
he answered, “The
man
who made me well
told
me, ‘Pick
up your
mat
and walk.’”
He answered them
, `He
who made me whole
--
that
one
said
to
me, Take
up thy
couch,
and be
walking;'
“
Who is this
man who told
you
to pick
it
up and walk
? ”
they
asked.
they
questioned
him,
then,
`
Who is the
man who is
saying
to thee,
Take
up thy
couch
and be
walking
? '
But the
man
who
was healed did
not know
who it
was
, for Jesus had
slipped
away while
the crowd
was
there
.
But he
that
was healed had
not known
who he
is
, for Jesus did
move
away ,
a
multitude
being
in
the 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
. ”
After
these
things
, Jesus findeth
him
in
the temple ,
and said to him, `Lo
, thou
hast
become
whole;
sin
no
more
, lest
something worse may happen to thee
. '
And
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 is
Jesus who made him whole,
Now
because Jesus was
doing
these things on the
Sabbath ,
the
Jews
began
to
persecute
Him
.
and
because of
this
were
the
Jews
persecuting
Jesus ,
and
seeking
to
kill
him,
because
these things he
was
doing
on a
sabbath.
But
Jesus answered them, “To
this
very
day
My Father is
at
His
work, and I too
am
working.”
And
Jesus answered them, `
My Father till
now
doth
work, 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.
because of this, then,
were
the Jews seeking
the more
to kill him ,
because
not only was he breaking the sabbath, but he also
called
God his own Father, making himself equal to
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.
Jesus therefore
responded
and
said
to
them
, `Verily
, verily
, I say
to
you, The Son is
not
able
to
do anything
of
himself, if
he may
not
see
the Father doing anything;
for whatever things
He
may
do
, these
also
the Son in
like
manner
doth;
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 doth
love
the Son ,
and doth
shew
to
him all things
that
He himself
doth;
and greater works than these He
will
shew
him,
that
ye
may
wonder
.
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 doth
raise
the dead ,
and doth
make
alive
, so also the Son doth
make
alive
whom he willeth;
Furthermore,
the Father judges
no
one, but has
assigned
all judgment to the Son,
for
neither
doth
the Father judge
any
one, but all the
judgment He
hath
given
to 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 may honour
the Son according
as they honour
the Father ;
he
who
is
not honouring
the Son ,
doth
not honour
the Father who 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
to
you --
He
who
is
hearing
my word ,
and is
believing
Him who sent me ,
hath
life age-during,
and to
judgment
he
doth
not come, but
hath
passed
out
of
the
death to the
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
to
you --
There
cometh
an
hour ,
and it
now is,
when the dead shall
hear the voice of the Son of God, and those having
heard
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 He gave
also
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 authority
He gave
him also
to do
judgment, because he is 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
`Wonder
not at this, because
there
doth
come
an
hour in
which
all those
in the
tombs
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 they
shall
come forth;
those who did
the
good things
to a
rising
again
of life, and those who practised
the
evil things
to a
rising
again
of judgment.
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 am
not
able
of
myself to
do
anything
; according
as I hear I
judge,
and my judgment is righteous
, because I seek not
my own will, but the will of the
Father
who sent me.
If I testify about
Myself, My testimony is not valid.
`
If I testify concerning
myself, my testimony is not true;
There is another
who testifies
about
Me, and I know
that His
testimony about
Me is valid.
another
there is who is
testifying
concerning
me, and I have
known
that the
testimony that
he
doth
testify
concerning
me is true;
You
have sent to
John, and he has
testified to the truth.
ye
have sent unto
John, and he hath
testified to the truth.
Even
though
I do not accept
human
testimony, I
say
these things so
that you
may be saved .
`But
I do not receive
testimony from
man
, but
these things I
say
that ye
may 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 the
burning
and shining
lamp
, and ye
did
will
to be
glad,
for
an
hour,
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 the
testimony greater
than John's,
for the works that the Father gave
me ,
that
I
might
finish
them,
the works themselves
that
I do,
they
testify concerning
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 who sent me Himself hath
testified concerning
me ;
ye
have neither
heard His voice at
any
time,
nor His appearance
have
ye
seen;
nor
does
His word abide
in you, because you
do not believe the
One
He
sent
.
and
His word ye
have
not
remaining
in you, because whom
He
sent,
him
ye
do not believe.
You
pore
over
the Scriptures
because you
presume
that
by
them you
possess
eternal
life .
These are the
very
words
that testify
about
Me ,
`Ye
search
the Writings,
because ye
think
in
them to
have
life age-during,
and
these are they
that are
testifying
concerning
me ;
yet
you
refuse
to come to
Me to
have life .
and
ye
do
not
will
to come unto
me ,
that
ye
may
have life ;
I do not accept
glory
from
men
,
glory
from
man
I do not receive
,
but I know
you, that you
do
not
have
the love of God within
you
.
but I have
known
you, that the love of God ye
have
not
in
yourselves
.
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 have come in the
name of
my
Father
, and ye
do
not receive
me; if another
may
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 are
ye
able
--
ye
--
to
believe ,
glory from one another receiving
, and
the glory that `is'
from God alone
ye
seek
not
?
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 unto
the Father ;
there
is who
is
accusing
you
, Moses
--
in whom ye
have hoped;
If you
had
believed
Moses, you
would believe
Me, because
he wrote about
Me .
for
if ye
were
believing
Moses, ye
would have
been
believing
me, for
he wrote concerning
me ;
But since
you
do
not
believe what
he
wrote
, how will
you
believe what
I
say
? ”
but if
his
writings
ye
believe not
, how shall
ye
believe my
sayings
? '
