1 After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
[tsk]
2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep [market] a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.
[tsk]
3 In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.
[tsk]
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.
[tsk]
5 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.
[tsk]
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?
[tsk]
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.
[tsk]
8 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
[tsk]
9 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.
[tsk]
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.
[tsk]
11 He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.
[tsk]
12 Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?
[tsk]
13 And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in [that] place.
[tsk]
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.
[tsk]
15 The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole.
[tsk]
16 And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.
[tsk]
17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
[tsk]
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.
[tsk]
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.
[tsk]
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.
[tsk]
21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth [them]; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.
[tsk]
22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
[tsk]
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.
[tsk]
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.
[tsk]
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.
[tsk]
26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
[tsk]
27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
[tsk]
28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
[tsk]
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.
[tsk]
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.
[tsk]
31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
[tsk]
32 There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.
[tsk]
33 Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.
[tsk]
34 But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.
[tsk]
35 He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
[tsk]
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.
[tsk]
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.
[tsk]
38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.
[tsk]
39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
[tsk]
40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
[tsk]
41 I receive not honour from men.
[tsk]
42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
[tsk]
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.
[tsk]
44 How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that [cometh] from God only?
[tsk]
45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is [one] that accuseth you, [even] Moses, in whom ye trust.
[tsk]
46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me.
[tsk]
47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
[tsk]
