John

1After these things was a festival day of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

2Now there is at Jerusalem a pond, called Probatica, which in Hebrew is named Bethsaida, having five porches.

3In these lay a great multitude of sick, of blind, of lame, of withered; waiting for the moving of the water.

4And an angel of the Lord descended at certain times into the pond; and the water was moved. And he that went down first into the pond after the motion of the water, was made whole, of whatsoever infirmity he lay under.

5And there was a certain man there, that had been eight and thirty years under his infirmity.

6Him when Jesus had seen lying, and knew that he had been now a long time, he saith to him: Wilt thou be made whole?

7The infirm man answered him: Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pond. For whilst I am coming, another goeth down before me.

8Jesus saith to him: Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.

9And immediately the man was made whole: and he took up his bed, and walked. And it was the sabbath that day.

10The Jews therefore said to him that was healed: It is the sabbath; it is not lawful for thee to take up thy bed.

11He answered them: He that made me whole, he said to me, Take up thy bed, and walk.

12They asked him therefore: Who is that man who said to thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?

13But he who was healed, knew not who it was; for Jesus went aside from the multitude standing in the place.

14Afterwards, Jesus findeth him in the temple, and saith to him: Behold thou art made whole: sin no more, lest some worse thing happen to thee.

15The man went his way, and told the Jews, that it was Jesus who had made him whole.

16Therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, because he did these things on the sabbath.

17But Jesus answered them: My Father worketh until now; and I work.

18Hereupon therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he did not only break the sabbath, but also said God was his Father, making himself equal to God.

19Then Jesus answered, and said to them: Amen, amen, I say unto you, the Son cannot do any thing of himself, but what he seeth the Father doing: for what things soever he doth, these the Son also doth in like manner.

20For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things which himself doth: and greater works than these will he shew him, that you may wonder.

21For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and giveth life: so the Son also giveth life to whom he will.

22For neither doth the Father judge any man, but hath given all judgment to the Son.

23That all men may honour the Son, as they honour the Father. He who honoureth not the Son, honoureth not the Father, who hath sent him.

24Amen, amen I say unto you, that he who heareth my word, and believeth him that sent me, hath life everlasting; and cometh not into judgment, but is passed from death to life.

25Amen, amen I say unto you, that the hour cometh, 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 hath life in himself, so he hath given the Son also to have life in himself:

27And he hath given him power to do judgment, because he is the Son of man.

28Wonder not at this; for the hour cometh, wherein all that are in the graves shall hear the voice of the Son of God.

29And they that have done good things, shall come forth unto the resurrection of life; but they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment.

30I cannot of myself do any thing. As I hear, so I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not my own will, but the will of him that sent me.

31If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.

32There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.

33You sent to John, and he gave testimony to the truth.

34But I receive not testimony from man: but I say these things, that you may be saved.

35He was a burning and a shining light: and you were willing for a time to rejoice in his light.

36But I have a greater testimony than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to perfect; the works themselves, which I do, give testimony of me, that the Father hath sent me.

37And the Father himself who hath sent me, hath given testimony of me: neither have you heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.

38And you have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him you believe not.

39Search the scriptures, for you think in them to have life everlasting; and the same are they that give testimony of me.

40And you will not come to me that you may have life.

41I receive glory not from men.

42But I know you, that you have not the love of God in you.

43I am come in the name of my Father, and you receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him you will receive.

44How can you believe, who receive glory one from another: and the glory which is from God alone, you do not seek?

45Think not that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one that accuseth you, Moses, in whom you trust.

46For if you did believe Moses, you would perhaps believe me also; for he wrote of me.

47But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?

1After these things, there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

2Now in Jerusalem by the sheep gate, there is a pool, which is called in Hebrew, “Bethesda”, having five porches.

3In these lay a great multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, or paralysed, waiting for the moving of the water;

4for an angel went down at certain times into the pool and stirred up the water. Whoever stepped in first after the stirring of the water was healed of whatever disease he had.

5A certain man was there who had been sick for thirty-eight years.

6When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had been sick for a long time, he asked him,“Do you want to be made well?”

7The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I’m coming, another steps down before me.”

8Jesus said to him,“Arise, take up your mat, and walk.”

9Immediately, the man was made well, and took up his mat and walked. Now that day was a Sabbath.

10So the Jews said to him who was cured, “It is the Sabbath. It is not lawful for you to carry the mat.”

11He answered them, “He who made me well said to me,‘Take up your mat and walk.’”

12Then they asked him, “Who is the man who said to you,‘Take up your mat and walk’?”

13But he who was healed didn’t know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a crowd being in the place.

14Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said to him,“Behold, you are made well. Sin no more, so that nothing worse happens to you.”

15The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

16For this cause the Jews persecuted Jesus and sought to kill him, because he did these things on the Sabbath.

17But Jesus answered them,“My Father is still working, so I am working, too.”

18For this cause therefore 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.

19Jesus therefore answered them,“Most certainly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father doing. For whatever things he does, these the Son also does likewise.

20For the Father has affection for the Son, and shows him all things that he himself does. He will show him greater works than these, that you may marvel.

21For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom he desires.

22For the Father judges no one, but he has given all judgement to the Son,

23that all may honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He who doesn’t honour the Son doesn’t honour the Father who sent him.

24“Most certainly I tell you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life, and doesn’t come into judgement, but has passed out of death into life.

25Most certainly I tell you, the hour comes, and now is, when the dead will hear the Son of God’s voice; and those who hear will live.

26For as the Father has life in himself, even so he gave to the Son also to have life in himself.

27He also gave him authority to execute judgement, because he is a son of man.

28Don’t marvel at this, for the hour comes in which all who are in the tombs will hear his voice

29and will come out; those who have done good, to the resurrection of life; and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgement.

30I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and my judgement is righteous, because I don’t seek my own will, but the will of my Father who sent me.

31“If I testify about myself, my witness is not valid.

32It is another who testifies about me. I know that the testimony which he testifies about me is true.

33You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.

34But the testimony which I receive is not from man. However, I say these things that you may be saved.

35He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.

36But the testimony which I have is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father gave me to accomplish, the very works that I do, testify about me, that the Father has sent me.

37The Father himself, who sent me, has testified about me. You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.

38You don’t have his word living in you, because you don’t believe him whom he sent.

39“You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and these are they which testify about me.

40Yet you will not come to me, that you may have life.

41I don’t receive glory from men.

42But I know you, that you don’t have God’s love in yourselves.

43I have come in my Father’s name, and you don’t receive me. If another comes in his own name, you will receive him.

44How can you believe, who receive glory from one another, and you don’t seek the glory that comes from the only God?

45“Don’t think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you, even Moses, on whom you have set your hope.

46For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote about me.

47But if you don’t believe his writings, how will you believe my words?”
