John 5

The Healing at Bethesda

1

Afterg3326 theseg3778 thingsg3778 there was  aa feastg1859 of the Jewsg2453, and Jesusg2424 wentg305 up to Jerusalemg2414.

2

Nowg1161 there is in Jerusalemg2414 by  athe sheepg4262 gate a poolg2861, which is calledg1951  bin  1Hebrewg1447  2Bethesdag964, havingg2192 fiveg4002 porticoesg4745.

3

In theseg3778 layg2621 a multitudeg4128 of thoseg3588 who were sickg770, blindg5185, lameg5560, and witheredg3584, [ 1waitingg1551 for the movingg2796a of the watersg5204;

4

for an angelg32a of the Lordg2962 wentg2597 downg2597 at certaing2596 seasonsg2540 into the poolg2861 and stirredg5015 up the waterg5204; whoever theng3767 firstg4413, afterg3326 the stirringg5016 up of the waterg5204, steppedg1684 in was madeg1096 wellg5199 from whateverg3739g1221 diseaseg3553 with whichg3739 he was afflictedg2722.]

5

A mang444 was thereg1563 who had beeng2192  1illg769 for thirty-eightg5144bg3638 yearsg2094.

6

When Jesusg2424 sawg3708 him lyingg2621 there, and knewg1097 that he had alreadyg2235 beeng2192 a longg4183 timeg5550 in that condition, He *saidg3004 to him, "Do you wishg2309 to getg1096 wellg5199?"

7

The sickg770 man answeredg611 Him, "Sirg2962, I haveg2192 nog3756 mang444 to putg906 me into the poolg2861 wheng3752  athe waterg5204 is stirredg5015 up, but whileg1722g3739 I am comingg2064, anotherg243 stepsg2597 downg2597 beforeg4253 me."

8

Jesusg2424 *saidg3004 to him, aGetg1453 up, pickg142 up your palletg2895 and walkg4043."

9

Immediatelyg2112 the mang444 becameg1096 wellg5199, and pickedg142 up his palletg2895 and began to walkg4043.

 aNowg1161 it was the Sabbathg4521 on that dayg2250.

10

Sog3767  athe Jewsg2453 were sayingg3004 to the man who was curedg2323, "It is the Sabbathg4521, and  bit is not permissibleg1832 for you to carryg142 your palletg2895."

11

But he answeredg611 them, "He who madeg4160 me wellg5199 was the oneg1565 who saidg3004 to me, `Pickg142 up your palletg2895 and walkg4043.'"

12

They askedg2065 him, "Whog5101 is the mang444 who saidg3004 to you, `Pickg142 up your pallet and walkg4043'?"

13

But the man who was healedg2390 did not knowg3609a whog5101 it was, for Jesusg2424 had slippedg1593 awayg1593 while there was a crowdg3793 in that placeg5117.

14

Afterwardg3326g3778 Jesusg2424 *foundg2147 him in the templeg2413 and saidg3004 to him, "Beholdg2396, you have becomeg1096 wellg5199; do not  asing264 anymoreg3371,  bsog2443 that nothingg3361g5100 worseg5501 happensg1096 to you."

15

The mang444 wentg565 awayg565, and toldg3004  athe Jewsg2453 that it was Jesusg2424 who had madeg4160 him wellg5199.

16

For thisg3778 reasong1223  athe Jewsg2453 were persecutingg1377 Jesusg2424, becauseg3754 He was doingg4160 theseg3778 thingsg3778 on the Sabbathg4521.

17

But He answeredg611 them, "My Fatherg3962 is workingg2038b untilg2193 nowg737, and I Myselfg1473 am workingg2038b."

Jesus' Equality with God

18

For thisg3778 reasong1223 thereforeg3767  athe Jewsg2453  bwere seekingg2212 all the moreg3123 to killg615 Him, becauseg3754 He not onlyg3440 was breakingg3089 the Sabbathg4521, but alsog2532 was callingg3004 Godg2316 His owng2398 Fatherg3962,  cmakingg4160 Himselfg1438 equalg2470 with Godg2316.

19

Thereforeg3767 Jesusg2424 answeredg611 and was sayingg3004 to them, "Trulyg281, trulyg281, I sayg3004 to you,  athe Song5207 cang1410 dog4160 nothingg3756g3762 of Himselfg1438, unlessg302g3361 it is somethingg5100 He seesg991 the Fatherg3962 doingg4160; for whateverg3739g302  1the Fatherg3962 doesg4160, theseg3778 thingsg3778 the Song5207 alsog2532 doesg4160 in likeg3668 mannerg3668.

20

aFor the Fatherg3962 lovesg5368 the Song5207, and showsg1166 Him allg3956 thingsg3956 that He Himselfg846 is doingg4160; and the Father will showg1166 Him  bgreaterg3173 worksg2041 than theseg3778, sog2443 that you will marvelg2296.

21

"For justg5618 as the Fatherg3962 raisesg1453 the deadg3498 and  agivesg2227 them lifeg2227, eveng2532 sog3779  bthe Song5207 alsog2532 givesg2227 lifeg2227 to whomg3739 He wishesg2309.

22

"For not eveng3761 the Fatherg3962 judgesg2919 anyoneg3762, but  aHe has giveng1325 allg3956 judgmentg2920 to the Song5207,

23

sog2443 that allg3956 will honorg5091 the Song5207 eveng2531a as they honorg5091 the Fatherg3962.  aHe who does not honorg5091 the Song5207 does not honorg5091 the Fatherg3962 who sentg3992 Him.

24

"Trulyg281, trulyg281, I sayg3004 to you, he who hearsg191 My wordg3056, and  abelievesg4100 Him who sentg3992 Me, hasg2192 eternalg166 lifeg2222, and  bdoes not comeg2064 into judgmentg2920, but has  cpassedg3327 out of deathg2288 into lifeg2222.

Two Resurrections

25

"Trulyg281, trulyg281, I sayg3004 to you,  aan hourg5610 is comingg2064 and nowg3568 is, wheng3753  bthe deadg3498 will hearg191 the voiceg5456 of the Song5207 of Godg2316, and thoseg3588 who  chearg191 will liveg2198.

26

"For justg5618 as the Fatherg3962 hasg2192 lifeg2222 in Himselfg1438, eveng2532 sog3779 He  agaveg1325 to the Song5207 alsog2532 to haveg2192 lifeg2222 in Himselfg1438;

27

and He gaveg1325 Him authorityg1849 to  aexecuteg4160 judgmentg2920, becauseg3754 He is  1the Song5207 of Mang444.

28

"Do not marvelg2296 at thisg3778; for  aan hourg5610 is comingg2064, in whichg3739  ballg3956 whog3588 are in the tombsg3419 will hearg191 His voiceg5456,

29

and will comeg1607 forthg1607;  athoseg3588 who didg4160 the goodg18 deeds to a resurrectiong386 of lifeg2222, thoseg3588 who committedg4238 the evilg5337 deeds to a resurrectiong386 of judgmentg2920.

30

aI cang1410 dog4160 nothingg3756g3762 on My owng1683 initiativeg1683. As I hearg191, I judgeg2919; and  bMy judgmentg2920 is justg1342, becauseg3754 I do not seekg2212 My owng1699 willg2307, but  cthe willg2307 of Him who sentg3992 Me.

31

aIfg1437 I alone testifyg3140 aboutg4012 Myselfg1683, My testimonyg3141 is not  1trueg227.

32

"There is  aanotherg243 who testifiesg3140 of Me, and I knowg3609a that the testimonyg3141 whichg3739 He givesg3140 aboutg4012 Me is trueg227.

Witness of John

33

"You have sentg649 to Johng2491, and he  ahas testifiedg3140 to the truthg225.

34

"But  athe testimonyg3141 which I receiveg2983 is not from mang444, but I sayg3004 theseg3778 thingsg3778 sog2443 that you may be savedg4982.

35

"He was  athe lampg3088 that was burningg2545 and was shiningg5316 and you  bwere willingg2309 to rejoiceg21 for  1a whileg5610 in his lightg5457.

Witness of Works

36

"But the testimonyg3141 which I haveg2192 is greaterg3173 than the testimony of Johng2491; for  athe worksg2041 whichg3739 the Fatherg3962 has giveng1325 Me  bto accomplishg5048--the veryg846 worksg2041 that I dog4160--testifyg3140 aboutg4012 Me, that the Fatherg3962  chas sentg649 Me.

Witness of the Father

37

"And the Fatherg3962 who sentg3992 Me,  aHe has testifiedg3140 of Me. You have neitherg3777 heardg191 His voiceg5456 at anyg4455 timeg4455 norg3777 seeng3708 His formg1491b.

38

"You do not haveg2192  aHis wordg3056 abidingg3306 in you, for you do not believeg4100 Him whomg3739 He  bsentg649.

Witness of the Scripture

39

1 aYou searchg2045 the Scripturesg1124 becauseg3754 you thinkg1380 that in them you haveg2192 eternalg166 lifeg2222; it is  btheseg1565 that testifyg3140 aboutg4012 Me;

40

and you are unwillingg3756g2309 to comeg2064 to Me sog2443 that you may haveg2192 lifeg2222.

41

aI do not receiveg2983 gloryg1391 from meng444;

42

but I knowg1097 you, that you do not haveg2192 the loveg26 of Godg2316 in yourselvesg1438.

43

"I have comeg2064 in My Father'sg3962 nameg3686, and you do not receiveg2983 Me;  aifg1437 anotherg243 comesg2064 in his owng2398 nameg3686, you will receiveg2983 him.

44

"Howg4459 cang1410 you believeg4100, when you  areceiveg2983  1gloryg1391 from oneg240 anotherg240 and you do not seekg2212  bthe  1gloryg1391 that is from  cthe one and onlyg3441 Godg2316?

45

"Do not thinkg1380 that I will accuseg2723 you beforeg4314 the Fatherg3962; the one who accusesg2723 you is  aMosesg3475, in whomg3739 you have setg1679 your hopeg1679.

46

"For ifg1487 you believedg4100 Mosesg3475, you would believeg4100 Me, for  ahe wroteg1125 aboutg4012 Me.

47

"But  aifg1487 you do not believeg4100 his writingsg1121, howg4459 will you believeg4100 My wordsg4487?"
