John 5
1¶ After these things there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2Now in Jerusalem there is a pool by the sheep gate, which in Hebrew is called, Bethesda, having five porches.
3In these lay a great multitude of those who were sick, blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.
4For an angel went down at a certain time into the pool and troubled the water; whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatever disease he had.
5And a certain man was there who had an infirmity thirty-eight years.
6When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he said unto him, Dost thou desire to be made whole?
7The 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 steps down before me.
8Jesus said unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
9And immediately the man was made whole and took up his bed and walked, and on that day was the sabbath.
10The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day; it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.
11He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed and walk.
12Then they asked him, Who is the man that said unto thee, Take up thy bed and walk?
13And he that was healed did not know who it was; for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.
14Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole; sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.
15The man departed and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him whole.
16And for this reason the Jews persecuted Jesus and sought to kill him: because he had done these things on a sabbath.
17¶ But Jesus answered them, My Father works until now, and I work.
18Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God.
19Then Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself but what he sees the Father do; for all that he does, this also the Son does together with him.
20For the Father loves the Son and shows him all the things that he does, and he will show him greater works than these that ye may marvel.
21For as the Father raises up the dead and gives them life; even so the Son gives life unto whom he will.
22For the Father judges no man but has committed all judgment unto the Son
23that everyone should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that does not honour the Son does not honour the Father who has sent him.
24Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that hears my word and believes him that sent me has eternal life and shall not come into judgment but has passed from death unto life.
25Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour shall come, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that hear shall live.
26For as the Father has life in himself, so has he given to the Son to have life in himself
27and has also given him power and authority to execute judgment because he is the Son of man.
28Marvel not at this, for an hour shall come when all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
29and those that have done good shall come forth unto the resurrection of life; but those that have done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment.
30I 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 has sent me.
31¶ If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
32There is another that bears witness of me, and I know that the witness which he witnesses of me is true.
33Ye sent unto John, and he bore witness unto the truth.
34But I receive not testimony from man, but I say these things that ye might be saved.
35He was a burning and a shining light, and ye were willing to rejoice for one hour in his light.
36But I have greater testimony than that of John; for the works which the Father has given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me that the Father has sent me.
37And the Father himself, who has sent me, has borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time nor seen his appearance.
38And ye do not have his word abiding in you; for whom he has sent, him ye do not believe.
39Search the scriptures, for in them ye think ye have eternal life; and they are those who testify of me.
40And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
41I do not receive glory from men.
42But I know you that ye have not the love of God in you.
43I have come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not; if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
44How can ye believe, who take glory one from another, and seek not the glory that comes only from God?
45Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father; there is one that accuses you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.
46For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me, for he wrote of me.
47But if ye do not believe his writings, how shall ye believe my words?

A Paralytic Is Healed
1 After these things there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 2Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool called in Aramaic Bethzatha,#The majority of later manuscripts read “Bethesda,” while other early manuscripts read “Bethsaida” which has five porticoes. 3In these were lying a large number of those who were sick, blind, lame, paralyzed.#The majority of later manuscripts add the following words: “waiting for the moving of the water. 4 For an angel of the Lord from time to time went down in the pool and stirred up the water. So the one who went in first after the stirring of the water was healed of whatever disease he suffered.” 5And a certain man was there who had been thirty-eight years in his sickness. 6Jesus, when he#*Here “when” is supplied as a component of the participle (“saw”) which is understood as temporal saw this one lying there and knew that he had been sick#*The phrase “been sick” is not in the Greek text, but is supplied from the context a long time already, said to him, “Do you want to become well?” 7The one who was sick answered him, “Sir, I do not have anyone that, whenever the water is stirred up, could put me into the pool. But while#Literally “during which time” I am coming, another goes down before me.” 8Jesus said to him, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk!” 9And immediately the man became well and picked up his mat and began to walk.#*The imperfect tense has been translated as ingressive here (“began to walk”) (Now it was the Sabbath on that day.)
10So the Jews were saying to the one who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath, and it is not permitted for you to pick up the mat!”#Some manuscripts have “your mat” 11But he answered them, “The one who made me well—that one said to me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk!’ ” 12So they asked him,#Some manuscripts have “They asked him” “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Pick up your mat#*In Greek the direct object (“your mat”) is not in the Greek text but the repetition is implied from the previous verse and walk?’ ” 13But the one who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn while#*Here “while” is supplied as a component of the temporal genitive absolute participle (“was”) a crowd was in the place.
Equal with God
14After these things Jesus found him at the temple and said to him, “Look, you have become well! Sin no longer, lest something worse happen to you.” 15The man went and reported to the Jews that Jesus was the one who made him well. 16And on account of this the Jews began to persecute#*The imperfect tense has been translated as ingressive here (“began to persecute”) Jesus, because he was doing these things on the Sabbath. 17But he answered#Some manuscripts have “Jesus answered” them, “My Father is working until now, and I am working.” 18So on account of this the Jews were seeking even more to kill him, because he not only was breaking the Sabbath, but also was calling God his own Father, thus#*Here “thus” is supplied as a component of the participle (“making”) which is understood as result making himself equal with God.
The Authority of the Son
19So Jesus answered and said to them, “Truly, truly I say to you, the Son can do nothing from himself except what he sees the Father doing. For whatever that one does, these things also the Son does likewise. 20For the Father loves the Son and shows him everything that he himself is doing. And greater works than these he will show him, so that you will be astonished. 21For just as the Father raises the dead and makes them#*Here the direct object is supplied from context in the English translation alive, thus also the Son makes alive whomever he wishes. 22For the Father does not judge anyone, but he has given all judgment to the Son, 23in order that all people#*The word “people” is not in the Greek text but is implied will honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. The one who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him. 24Truly, truly I say to you that the one who hears my word and who believes the one who sent me has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.
25“Truly, truly I say to you, that an hour is coming—and now is here—when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and the ones who hear will live. 26For just as the Father has life in himself, thus also he has granted to the Son to have life in himself. 27And he has granted him authority to carry out judgment, because he is the Son of Man.
28“Do not be astonished at this, because an hour is coming in which all those in the tombs will hear his voice 29and they will come out—those who have done good things to a resurrection of life, but those who have practiced evil things to a resurrection of judgment. 30I am able to do nothing from myself. Just as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, because I do not seek my own will, but the will of the one who sent me.
Further Testimony About the Son
31“If I testify about myself, my testimony is not true. 32There is another who testifies about me, and I know that the testimony which he testifies about me is true. 33You have sent to John and he has testified to the truth. 34(And I do not receive testimony from people, but I say these things in order that you may be saved.) 35That one was the lamp which was burning and shining, and you wanted to rejoice for an hour in his light.
36“But I have a testimony greater than John’s, for the works which the Father has given to me that I should complete them—the very works which I am doing—these testify about me, that the Father has sent me. 37And the Father who sent me, that one has testified about me. You have neither heard his voice at any time nor seen his form. 38And you do not have his word residing in yourselves, because the one whom that one sent, in this one you do not believe. 39You search#Or “Search” (an imperative) the scriptures because you think that you have eternal life in them, and it is these that testify about me. 40And you are not willing to come to me so that you may have life.
41“I do not accept glory#Or “honor” from people, 42but I know you, that you do not have the love of God in yourselves. 43I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not accept me. If another should come in his own name, you would accept that one! 44How are you able to believe, if you#*Here “if” is supplied as a component of the participle (“accept”) which is understood as conditional accept glory from one another, and do not seek the glory which is from the only God? 45Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father! The one who accuses you is Moses, in whom you have put your hope! 46For if you had believed Moses, you would believe me, for that one wrote about me. 47But if you do not believe that one’s writings, how will you believe my words?”
