John 5

1 Jesus on the Sabbath day cureth him that was diseased eight and thirty years. 10 The Jews therefore cavil, and persecute him for it. 17 He answereth for himself, and reproveth them, shewing by the testimony of his Father, 32 of John, 36 of his works, 39 and of the Scriptures, who he is.

 5:1 After 3326 these 3778 things 3778 there was a feast 1859 of the Jews 2453, and Jesus 2424 went 305 up to Jerusalem 2414.

 5:2 ¶ Now 1161 there is in Jerusalem 2414 by the sheep 4262 [gate] a pool 2861, which is called 1951 in Hebrew 1447 Bethesda 964, having 2192 five 4002 porticoes 4745.

 5:3 In these 3778 lay 2621 a multitude 4128 of those 3588 who were sick 770, blind 5185, lame 5560, and withered 3584, [[waiting 1551 for the moving 2796a of the waters 5204;

 5:4 for an angel 32a of the Lord 2962 went 2597 down 2597 at certain 2596 seasons 2540 into the pool 2861 and stirred 5015 up the water 5204; whoever then 3767 first 4413, after 3326 the stirring 5016 up of the water 5204, stepped 1684 in was made 1096 well 5199 from whatever 3739 1221 disease 3553 with which 3739 he was afflicted 2722.]]

 5:5 A man 444 was there 1563 who had been 2192 ill 769 for thirty-eight 5144b 3638 years 2094.

 5:6 When Jesus 2424 saw 3708 him lying 2621 [there], and knew 1097 that he had already 2235 been 2192 a long 4183 time 5550 [in that condition], He *said 3004 to him, “Do you wish 2309 to get 1096 well 5199?”

 5:7 The sick 770 man answered 611 Him, “Sir 2962, I have 2192 no 3756 man 444 to put 906 me into the pool 2861 when 3752 the water 5204 is stirred 5015 up, but while 1722 3739 I am coming 2064, another 243 steps 2597 down 2597 before 4253 me.”

 5:8 Jesus 2424 *said 3004 to him, “Get 1453 up, pick 142 up your pallet 2895 and walk 4043.”

 5:9 Immediately 2112 the man 444 became 1096 well 5199, and picked 142 up his pallet 2895 and [began] to walk 4043. ¶ Now 1161 it was the Sabbath 4521 on that day 2250.

 5:10 So 3767 the Jews 2453 were saying 3004 to the man who was cured 2323, “It is the Sabbath 4521, and it is not permissible 1832 for you to carry 142 your pallet 2895.”

 5:11 But he answered 611 them, “He who made 4160 me well 5199 was the one 1565 who said 3004 to me, ‘Pick 142 up your pallet 2895 and walk 4043.’”

 5:12 They asked 2065 him, “Who 5101 is the man 444 who said 3004 to you, ‘Pick 142 up [your pallet] and walk 4043’?”

 5:13 But the man who was healed 2390 did not know 3609a who 5101 it was, for Jesus 2424 had slipped 1593 away 1593 while there was a crowd 3793 in [that] place 5117.

 5:14 Afterward 3326 3778 Jesus 2424 *found 2147 him in the temple 2413 and said 3004 to him, “Behold 2396, you have become 1096 well 5199; do not sin 264 anymore 3371, so 2443 that nothing 3361 5100 worse 5501 happens 1096 to you.”

 5:15 The man 444 went 565 away 565, and told 3004 the Jews 2453 that it was Jesus 2424 who had made 4160 him well 5199.

 5:16 For this 3778 reason 1223 the Jews 2453 were persecuting 1377 Jesus 2424, because 3754 He was doing 4160 these 3778 things 3778 on the Sabbath 4521.

 5:17 But He answered 611 them, “My Father 3962 is working 2038b until 2193 now 737, and I Myself 1473 am working 2038b.”

 5:18 For this 3778 reason 1223 therefore 3767 the Jews 2453 were seeking 2212 all the more 3123 to kill 615 Him, because 3754 He not only 3440 was breaking 3089 the Sabbath 4521, but also 2532 was calling 3004 God 2316 His own 2398 Father 3962, making 4160 Himself 1438 equal 2470 with God 2316.

 5:19 ¶ Therefore 3767 Jesus 2424 answered 611 and was saying 3004 to them, “Truly 281, truly 281, I say 3004 to you, the Son 5207 can 1410 do 4160 nothing 3756 3762 of Himself 1438, unless 302 3361 [it is] something 5100 He sees 991 the Father 3962 doing 4160; for whatever 3739 302 the Father 3962 does 4160, these 3778 things 3778 the Son 5207 also 2532 does 4160 in like 3668 manner 3668.

 5:20 “For the Father 3962 loves 5368 the Son 5207, and shows 1166 Him all 3956 things 3956 that He Himself 846 is doing 4160; and [the Father] will show 1166 Him greater 3173 works 2041 than these 3778, so 2443 that you will marvel 2296.

 5:21 “For just 5618 as the Father 3962 raises 1453 the dead 3498 and gives 2227 them life 2227, even 2532 so 3779 the Son 5207 also 2532 gives 2227 life 2227 to whom 3739 He wishes 2309.

 5:22 “For not even 3761 the Father 3962 judges 2919 anyone 3762, but He has given 1325 all 3956 judgment 2920 to the Son 5207,

 5:23 so 2443 that all 3956 will honor 5091 the Son 5207 even 2531a as they honor 5091 the Father 3962. He who does not honor 5091 the Son 5207 does not honor 5091 the Father 3962 who sent 3992 Him.

 5:24 ¶ “Truly 281, truly 281, I say 3004 to you, he who hears 191 My word 3056, and believes 4100 Him who sent 3992 Me, has 2192 eternal 166 life 2222, and does not come 2064 into judgment 2920, but has passed 3327 out of death 2288 into life 2222.

 5:25 “Truly 281, truly 281, I say 3004 to you, an hour 5610 is coming 2064 and now 3568 is, when 3753 the dead 3498 will hear 191 the voice 5456 of the Son 5207 of God 2316, and those 3588 who hear 191 will live 2198.

 5:26 “For just 5618 as the Father 3962 has 2192 life 2222 in Himself 1438, even 2532 so 3779 He gave 1325 to the Son 5207 also 2532 to have 2192 life 2222 in Himself 1438;

 5:27 and He gave 1325 Him authority 1849 to execute 4160 judgment 2920, because 3754 He is [the] Son 5207 of Man 444.

 5:28 “Do not marvel 2296 at this 3778; for an hour 5610 is coming 2064, in which 3739 all 3956 who 3588 are in the tombs 3419 will hear 191 His voice 5456,

 5:29 and will come 1607 forth 1607; those 3588 who did 4160 the good 18 [deeds] to a resurrection 386 of life 2222, those 3588 who committed 4238 the evil 5337 [deeds] to a resurrection 386 of judgment 2920.

 5:30 ¶ “I can 1410 do 4160 nothing 3756 3762 on My own 1683 initiative 1683. As I hear 191, I judge 2919; and My judgment 2920 is just 1342, because 3754 I do not seek 2212 My own 1699 will 2307, but the will 2307 of Him who sent 3992 Me.

 5:31 ¶ “If 1437 I [alone] testify 3140 about 4012 Myself 1683, My testimony 3141 is not true 227.

 5:32 “There is another 243 who testifies 3140 of Me, and I know 3609a that the testimony 3141 which 3739 He gives 3140 about 4012 Me is true 227.

 5:33 “You have sent 649 to John 2491, and he has testified 3140 to the truth 225.

 5:34 “But the testimony 3141 which I receive 2983 is not from man 444, but I say 3004 these 3778 things 3778 so 2443 that you may be saved 4982.

 5:35 “He was the lamp 3088 that was burning 2545 and was shining 5316 and you were willing 2309 to rejoice 21 for a while 5610 in his light 5457.

 5:36 “But the testimony 3141 which I have 2192 is greater 3173 than [the testimony of] John 2491; for the works 2041 which 3739 the Father 3962 has given 1325 Me to accomplish 5048—the very 846 works 2041 that I do 4160—testify 3140 about 4012 Me, that the Father 3962 has sent 649 Me.

 5:37 “And the Father 3962 who sent 3992 Me, He has testified 3140 of Me. You have neither 3777 heard 191 His voice 5456 at any 4455 time 4455 nor 3777 seen 3708 His form 1491b.

 5:38 “You do not have 2192 His word 3056 abiding 3306 in you, for you do not believe 4100 Him whom 3739 He sent 649.

 5:39 “You search 2045 the Scriptures 1124 because 3754 you think 1380 that in them you have 2192 eternal 166 life 2222; it is these 1565 that testify 3140 about 4012 Me;

 5:40 and you are unwilling 3756 2309 to come 2064 to Me so 2443 that you may have 2192 life 2222.

 5:41 “I do not receive 2983 glory 1391 from men 444;

 5:42 but I know 1097 you, that you do not have 2192 the love 26 of God 2316 in yourselves 1438.

 5:43 “I have come 2064 in My Father’s 3962 name 3686, and you do not receive 2983 Me; if 1437 another 243 comes 2064 in his own 2398 name 3686, you will receive 2983 him.

 5:44 “How 4459 can 1410 you believe 4100, when you receive 2983 glory 1391 from one 240 another 240 and you do not seek 2212 the glory 1391 that is from the [one and] only 3441 God 2316?

 5:45 “Do not think 1380 that I will accuse 2723 you before 4314 the Father 3962; the one who accuses 2723 you is Moses 3475, in whom 3739 you have set 1679 your hope 1679.

 5:46 “For if 1487 you believed 4100 Moses 3475, you would believe 4100 Me, for he wrote 1125 about 4012 Me.

 5:47 “But if 1487 you do not believe 4100 his writings 1121, how 4459 will you believe 4100 My words 4487?”
