5:1 After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up
to Jerusalem.
5:2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep [market] a pool,
which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five
porches.
5:3 In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind,
halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.
5:4 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool,
and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling
of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he
had.
5:5 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty
and eight years.
5:6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long
time [in that case], he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?
5:7 The 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 steppeth down before me.
5:8 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
5:9 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed,
and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.
5:10 The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the
sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry [thy] bed.
5:11 He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto
me, Take up thy bed, and walk.
5:12 Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee,
Take up thy bed, and walk?
5:13 And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had
conveyed himself away, a multitude being in [that] place.
5:14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto
him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse
thing come unto thee.
5:15 The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus,
which had made him whole.
5:16 And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to
slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.
5:17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I
work.
5:18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he
not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his
Father, making himself equal with God.
5:19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I
say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he
seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also
doeth the Son likewise.
5:20 For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things
that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than
these, that ye may marvel.
5:21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth
[them]; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.
5:22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all
judgment unto the Son:
5:23 That all [men] should honour the Son, even as they honour
the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the
Father which hath sent him.
5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word,
and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and
shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto
life.
5:25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now
is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and
they that hear shall live.
5:26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to
the Son to have life in himself;
5:27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also,
because he is the Son of man.
5:28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which
all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
5:29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the
resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the
resurrection of damnation.
5:30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and
my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the
will of the Father which hath sent me.
5:31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
5:32 There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know
that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.
5:33 Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.
5:34 But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I
say, that ye might be saved.
5:35 He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing
for a season to rejoice in his light.
5:36 But I have greater witness than [that] of John: for the
works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works
that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.
5:37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne
witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor
seen his shape.
5:38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath
sent, him ye believe not.
5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal
life: and they are they which testify of me.
5:40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
5:41 I receive not honour from men.
5:42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
5:43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if
another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
5:44 How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another,
and seek not the honour that [cometh] from God only?
5:45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is
[one] that accuseth you, [even] Moses, in whom ye trust.
5:46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for
he wrote of me.
5:47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my
words?
