Yoḥanan (John) 5
5
1After this there was a festival of the Yehuḏim, and יהושע went up to Yerushalayim.
2And in Yerushalayim at the Sheep Gate there is a pool, which is called in Hebrew, Bĕyth Zatha, having five porches.
3In these were lying a great number of those who were sick, blind, crippled, paralysed, waiting for the stirring of the water.
4For a messenger was going down at a certain time into the pool and was stirring the water. Whoever stepped in first, then, after the stirring of the water, became well of whatever disease he had.
5And a certain man was there who had a sickness thirty-eight years.
6When יהושע saw him lying there, and knowing that he already had been a long time, He said to him, “Do you wish to become well?”
7The sick man answered Him, “Master, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred, but while I am coming, another steps down before me.”
8יהושע said to him, “Rise, take up your bed and walk.”
9And immediately the man became well, and he took up his bed and was walking. Now it was Sabbath on that day.
10The Yehuḏim therefore said to him who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath, it is not right for you to take up the bed.”
11He answered them, “He who made me well said to me, ‘Take up your bed and walk.’ ”
12Therefore they asked him, “Who is the Man who said to you, ‘Take up your bed and walk’?”
13But the one who was healed did not know who it was, for יהושע had moved away, a crowd being in that place.
14Afterward יהושע found him in the Set-apart Place, and said to him, “See, you have been made well. Sin no more, so that no worse matter befalls you.”#See also John 8:11
15The man went away, and told the Yehuḏim that it was יהושע who made him well.
16And because of this the Yehuḏim persecuted יהושע, and were seeking to kill Him, because He was doing these healings on the Sabbath.
17But יהושע answered them, “My Father works until now, and I work.”
18Because of this, then, the Yehuḏim were seeking all the more to kill Him, ‘because not only was He breaking the Sabbath, but He also called Elohim His own Father, making Himself equal with Elohim.’
19Therefore יהושע responded and said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son is able to do none at all by Himself, but only that which He sees the Father doing, because whatever He does, the Son also likewise does.
20“For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all that He Himself does. And greater works than these He is going to show Him, in order that you marvel.
21“For as the Father raises the dead and makes alive, even so the Son makes alive whom He wishes.
22“For the Father judges no one, but has given all the judgment to the Son,
23that all should value the Son even as they value the Father. He who does not value the Son does not value the Father who sent Him.
24“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me possesses everlasting life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.
25“Truly, truly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of Elohim. And those having heard shall live.
26For as the Father possesses life in Himself, so He gave also to the Son to possess life in Himself,”
27and He has given Him authority also to do judgment, because He is the Son of Aḏam.
28“Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the tombs shall hear His voice,
29and shall come forth – those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have practised evil matters, to a resurrection of judgment.
30Of Myself I am unable to do any matter. As I hear, I judge, and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own desire, but the desire of the Father who sent Me.
31“If I bear witness of Myself, My witness is not true.
32“There is another who bears witness of Me, and I know that the witness which He witnesses of Me is true.
33“You have sent to Yoḥanan, and he bore witness to the truth.
34“But I do not receive witness from man, but I say this in order that you might be saved.
35“He was the burning and shining lamp, and for a while you wished to rejoice in his light.
36“But I have a greater witness than that of Yoḥanan, for the works that the Father gave Me to accomplish, the works that I do, bear witness of Me, that the Father has sent Me.
37And the Father who sent Me, He bore witness of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His form.#See John 1:18
38“And you do not have His Word staying in you, because you do not believe Him whom He sent.
39“You search the Scriptures, because you think you possess everlasting life in them. And these are the ones that bear witness of Me.
40“But you do not desire to come to Me in order to possess life.
41I do not receive esteem from men,”
42but I know you, that you do not have the love of Elohim in you.
43“I have come in My Father’s Name and you do not receive Me, if another comes in his own name, him you would receive.
44How are you able to believe, when you are receiving esteem from one another, and the esteem that is from the only Elohim you do not seek?”
45“Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you: Mosheh, in whom you have set your expectation.
46“For if you believed Mosheh, you would have believed Me, since he wrote about Me.
47“But if you do not believe his writings,#See Luke 16:31 how shall you believe My words?”

1After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 #
Neh 3.1; 12.39. Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, in Hebrew called Beth-zatha,#5.2 Other ancient authorities read Bethesda, others Bethsaida which has five porticoes. 3In these lay a multitude of invalids, blind, lame, paralyzed. 4#5.4 Other ancient authorities insert, wholly or in part, waiting for the moving of the water; 4 for an angel of the Lord went down at certain seasons into the pool, and troubled the water: whoever stepped in first after the troubling of the water was healed of whatever disease he had 5One man was there, who had been ill for thirty-eight years. 6When Jesus saw him and knew that he had been lying there a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be healed?” 7The 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.” 8#Mk 2.11; Mt 9.6; Lk 5.24. Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your pallet, and walk.” 9And at once the man was healed, and he took up his pallet and walked.
Now that day was the sabbath. 10#Neh 13.19; Jer 17.21; Jn 7.23; 9.16; Mk 2.24. So the Jews said to the man who was cured, “It is the sabbath, it is not lawful for you to carry your pallet.” 11But he answered them, “The man who healed me said to me, ‘Take up your pallet, and walk.’ ” 12They asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Take up your pallet, and walk’?” 13Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, as there was a crowd in the place. 14#Mk 2.5. Afterward, Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, “See, you are well! Sin no more, that nothing worse befall you.” 15The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had healed him. 16And this was why the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he did this on the sabbath. 17#Gen 2.3. But Jesus answered them, “My Father is working still, and I am working.” 18#Jn 7.1; 10.33. This was why the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the sabbath but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God.

Jn 5.30; 8.28; 14.10. 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. 20#Jn 14.12. 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. 21#Rom 4.17; 8.11; Jn 11.25. For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom he will. 22The Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son, 23#Lk 10.16; 1 Jn 2.23. 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. 24#Jn 3.18. 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.

Jn 4.21; 16.2,32. “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. 26For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself, 27and has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of man. 28Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice 29#Dan 12.2; Acts 24.15; Jn 11.24; Mt 25.46; 1 Cor 15.52. and come forth, those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment.

Jn 5.19; 8.16; 6.38. “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. 31#Jn 8.14-18. If I bear witness to myself, my testimony is not true; 32there is another who bears witness to me, and I know that the testimony which he bears to me is true. 33#Jn 1.7,19. You sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth. 34#1 Jn 5.9. Not that the testimony which I receive is from man; but I say this that you may be saved. 35He was a burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light. 36#Jn 10.25; 14.11; 15.24; Mt 11.4. 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. 37And the Father who sent me has himself borne witness to me. His voice you have never heard, his form you have never seen; 38and you do not have his word abiding in you, for you do not believe him whom he has sent. 39#Lk 24.27; Acts 13.27. You search the scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness to me; 40yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life. 41I do not receive glory from men. 42But I know that you have not the love of God within you. 43#Mt 24.5. 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. 44How can you believe, who receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God? 45#Jn 9.28; Rom 2.17. Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; it is Moses who accuses you, on whom you set your hope. 46If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote of me. 47#Lk 16.29,31. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?”
