John 5
5
1After these things there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,
2and there is in Jerusalem by the sheep-[gate] a pool that is called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five porches,
3in these were lying a great multitude of the ailing, blind, lame, withered, waiting for the moving of the water,
4for 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.
5And there was a certain man there being in ailment thirty and eight years,
6him Jesus having seen lying, and having known that he is already a long time, he saith to him, ‘Dost thou wish to become whole?’
7The 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.’
8Jesus saith to him, ‘Rise, take up thy couch, and be walking;’
9and immediately the man became whole, and he took up his couch, and was walking, and it was a sabbath on that day,
10the Jews then said to him that hath been healed, ‘It is a sabbath; it is not lawful to thee to take up the couch.’
11He answered them, ‘He who made me whole — that one said to me, Take up thy couch, and be walking;’
12they questioned him, then, ‘Who is the man who is saying to thee, Take up thy couch and be walking?’
13But he that was healed had not known who he is, for Jesus did move away, a multitude being in the place.
14After 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.’
15The man went away, and told the Jews that it is Jesus who made him whole,
16and because of this were the Jews persecuting Jesus, and seeking to kill him, because these things he was doing on a sabbath.
17And Jesus answered them, ‘My Father till now doth work, and I work;’
18because 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.
19Jesus 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;
20for 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.
21‘For, as the Father doth raise the dead, and doth make alive, so also the Son doth make alive whom he willeth;
22for neither doth the Father judge any one, but all the judgment He hath given to the Son,
23that 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.
24‘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.
25‘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;
26for, as the Father hath life in himself, so He gave also to the Son to have life in himself,
27and authority He gave him also to do judgment, because he is Son of Man.
28‘Wonder not at this, because there doth come an hour in which all those in the tombs shall hear his voice,
29and 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.
30‘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.
31‘If I testify concerning myself, my testimony is not true;
32another there is who is testifying concerning me, and I have known that the testimony that he doth testify concerning me is true;
33ye have sent unto John, and he hath testified to the truth.
34‘But I do not receive testimony from man, but these things I say that ye may be saved;
35he was the burning and shining lamp, and ye did will to be glad, for an hour, in his light.
36‘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.
37‘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;
38and His word ye have not remaining in you, because whom He sent, him ye do not believe.
39‘Ye search the Writings, because ye think in them to have life age-during, and these are they that are testifying concerning me;
40and ye do not will to come unto me, that ye may have life;
41glory from man I do not receive,
42but I have known you, that the love of God ye have not in yourselves.
43‘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;
44how are ye able — ye — to believe, glory from one another receiving, and the glory that [is] from God alone ye seek not?
45‘Do not think that I will accuse you unto the Father; there is who is accusing you, Moses — in whom ye have hoped;
46for if ye were believing Moses, ye would have been believing me, for he wrote concerning me;
47but if his writings ye believe not, how shall ye believe my sayings?’

Healing on Shabbat
1After this there was a Jewish feast, and Yeshua went up to Jerusalem.
2Now in Jerusalem there is a pool by the sheep gate, called Bethzatha in Aramaic, which has five porches.
3In these a crowd of invalids was lying around—blind, lame, disabled.
4
5Now a certain man had been an invalid there for thirty-eight years.
6Seeing him lying there and knowing he had been that way a long time, Yeshua said to him, “Do you want to get well?”
7The invalid answered Him, “Sir, I have nobody to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up. While I’m trying to get in, somebody else steps down before me!”
8Yeshua tells him, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk!”
9Immediately, the man was healed! He took up his mat and started walking around. Now that day was Shabbat,
10so Judean leaders were saying to the man who was healed, “It’s Shabbat! It’s not permitted for you to carry your mat.”
11But he answered them, “The man who made me well told me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’”
12They asked him, “Who is the man who told you, ‘Pick up your mat and walk’?”
13But the man who had been healed didn’t know who it was, for Yeshua had slipped away into the crowd in that place.
14Afterwards, Yeshua finds him in the Temple. He said to him, “Look, you’ve been healed! Stop sinning, so nothing worse happens to you.”
15The man left and told the Judean leaders that it was Yeshua who had made him well.
Sent by the Father
16Because Yeshua was doing these things on Shabbat, the Judean leaders started persecuting Him.
17But Yeshua said to them, “My Father is still working, and I also am working.”
18So for this reason the Judean leaders kept trying even harder to kill Him—because He was not only breaking Shabbat, but also calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.
19Therefore Yeshua answered them, “Amen, amen I tell you, the Son cannot do anything by Himself. He can do only what He sees the Father doing. Whatever the Father does, the Son does likewise.
20For the Father loves the Son and shows Him everything He does. He will show Him even greater works than these, so that you will be amazed.
21For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whomever He wants.
22The Father does not judge anyone, but has handed over all judgment to the Son
23so that all should honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.
24“Amen, amen I tell you, whoever hears My word and trusts the One who sent Me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed over from death into life.
25Amen, amen I tell you, an hour is coming and is now here, when the dead will hear the voice of Ben-Elohim. Those who hear will live!
26For just as the Father has life in Himself, so also He has granted the Son to have life in Himself.
27Also He has given the Son authority to judge, because He is the Son of Man.
28“Do not be amazed at this, for an hour is coming when all who are in their graves will hear His voice
29and come out! Those who have done good will come to a resurrection of life, and those who have done evil will come to a resurrection of judgment.
30I can do nothing on My own. Just as I hear, I judge; and My judgment is just, for I do not seek My own will, but the will of the One who sent Me.”
The Father Testifies about the Son
31“If I testify about Myself, My witness is not valid.
32There is another who testifies about Me, and I know that the testimony He gives is true.
33You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.
34I do not receive the testimony of man, but I say these things so that you may be saved.
35He was the lamp that was burning and shining, and you wanted to rejoice for a while in his light.
36“But the testimony I have is greater than that from John. The works the Father has given Me to finish—the very works I am doing—testify about Me, that the Father has sent Me.
37And the Father who sent Me has testified concerning Me. You have never heard His voice nor seen His form.
38Nor do you have His Word living in you, because you do not trust the One He sent.
39You search the Scriptures because you suppose that in them you have eternal life. It is these that testify about Me.
40Yet you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life!
41“I do not accept glory from men.
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 receive Me. But if another comes in his own name, you will receive him.
44How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and you do not seek the glory that comes from God alone?
45“Do 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 were believing Moses, you would believe Me—because he wrote about Me.
47But since you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?”
