| 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? |
