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

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

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

Now there is in Jerusalem, at the sheepgate, a pool, which is called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches.

3 I n these lay a great multitude of those who were sick, blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.

In these lay a multitude of sick, blind, lame, withered, [awaiting the moving of the water.

4 F or an angel went down at a certain time into the pool and troubled the water; whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatever disease he had.

For an angel descended at a certain season in the pool and troubled the water. Whoever therefore first went in after the troubling of the water became well, whatever disease he laboured under.]

5 A nd a certain man was there who had an infirmity thirty-eight years.

But there was a certain man there who had been suffering under his infirmity thirty and eight years.

6 W hen Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he said unto him, Dost thou desire to be made whole?

Jesus seeing this lying, and knowing that he was now a great length of time, says to him, Wouldest thou become well?

7 T he 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 steps down before me.

The infirm answered him, Sir, I have not a man, in order, when the water has been troubled, to cast me into the pool; but while I am coming another descends before me.

8 J esus said unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.

Jesus says to him, Arise, take up thy couch and walk.

9 A nd immediately the man was made whole and took up his bed and walked, and on that day was the sabbath.

And immediately the man became well, and took up his couch and walked: and on that day was sabbath.

10 T he Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day; it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.

The Jews therefore said to the healed, It is sabbath, it is not permitted thee to take up thy couch.

11 H e answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed and walk.

He answered them, He that made me well, he said to me, Take up thy couch and walk.

12 T hen they asked him, Who is the man that said unto thee, Take up thy bed and walk?

They asked him, Who is the man who said to thee, Take up thy couch and walk?

13 A nd he that was healed did not know who it was; for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.

But he that had been healed knew not who it was, for Jesus had slidden away, there being a crowd in the place.

14 A fterward Jesus found him in the temple and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole; sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.

After these things Jesus finds him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou art become well: sin no more, that something worse do not happen to thee.

15 T he man departed and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him whole.

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

16 A nd for this reason the Jews persecuted Jesus and sought to kill him: because he had done these things on a sabbath.

And for this the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he had done these things on sabbath.

17 ¶ But Jesus answered them, My Father works until now, and I work.

But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto and I work.

18 T herefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God.

For this therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he had not only violated the sabbath, but also said that God was his own Father, making himself equal with God.

19 T hen Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself but what he sees the Father do; for all that he does, this also the Son does together with him.

Jesus therefore answered and said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, The Son can do nothing of himself save whatever he sees the Father doing: for whatever things he does, these things also the Son does in like manner.

20 F or the Father loves the Son and shows him all the things that he does, and he will show him greater works than these that ye may marvel.

For the Father loves the Son and shews him all things which he himself does; and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may wonder.

21 F or as the Father raises up the dead and gives them life; even so the Son gives life unto whom he will.

For even as the Father raises the dead and quickens, thus the Son also quickens whom he will:

22 F or the Father judges no man but has committed all judgment unto the Son

for neither does the Father judge any one, but has given all judgment to the Son;

23 t hat everyone should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that does not honour the Son does not honour the Father who has sent him.

that all may honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He who honours not the Son, honours not the Father who has sent him.

24 V erily, verily, I say unto you, He that hears my word and believes him that sent me has eternal life and shall not come into judgment but has passed from death unto life.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, that he that hears my word, and believes him that has sent me, has life eternal, and does not come into judgment, but is passed out of death into life.

25 V erily, verily, I say unto you, The hour shall come, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that hear shall live.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, that an hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that have heard shall live.

26 F or as the Father has life in himself, so has he given to the Son to have life in himself

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

27 a nd has also given him power and authority to execute judgment because he is the Son of man.

and has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is Son of man.

28 M arvel not at this, for an hour shall come when all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,

Wonder not at this, for an hour is coming in which all who are in the tombs shall hear his voice,

29 a nd those that have done good shall come forth unto the resurrection of life; but those that have done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment.

and shall go forth; those that have practised good, to resurrection of life, and those that have done evil, to resurrection of judgment.

30 I can of my own self do nothing; as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father who has sent me.

I cannot do anything of myself; as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous, because I do not seek my will, but the will of him that has sent me.

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

If I bear witness concerning myself, my witness is not true.

32 T here is another that bears witness of me, and I know that the witness which he witnesses of me is true.

It is another who bears witness concerning me, and I know that the witness which he bears concerning me is true.

33 Y e sent unto John, and he bore witness unto the truth.

Ye have sent unto John, and he has borne witness to the truth.

34 B ut I receive not testimony from man, but I say these things that ye might be saved.

But I do not receive witness from man, but I say this that ye might be saved.

35 H e was a burning and a shining light, and ye were willing to rejoice for one hour in his light.

He was the burning and shining lamp, and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.

36 B ut I have greater testimony than that of John; for the works which the Father has given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me that the Father has sent me.

But I have the witness greater than of John; for the works which the Father has given me that I should complete them, the works themselves which I do, bear witness concerning me that the Father has sent me.

37 A nd the Father himself, who has sent me, has borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time nor seen his appearance.

And the Father who has sent me himself has borne witness concerning me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor have seen his shape,

38 A nd ye do not have his word abiding in you; for whom he has sent, him ye do not believe.

and ye have not his word abiding in you; for whom he hath sent, him ye do not believe.

39 S earch the scriptures, for in them ye think ye have eternal life; and they are those who testify of me.

Ye search the scriptures, for ye think that in them ye have life eternal, and they it is which bear witness concerning me;

40 A nd ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.

and ye will not come to me that ye might have life.

41 I do not receive glory from men.

I do not receive glory from men,

42 B ut I know you that ye have not the love of God in you.

but I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.

43 I have come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not; if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.

I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not; if another come in his own name, him ye will receive.

44 H ow can ye believe, who take glory one from another, and seek not the glory that comes only from God?

How can ye believe, who receive glory one of another, and seek not the glory which from God alone?

45 D o not think that I will accuse you to the Father; there is one that accuses you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.

Think not that I will accuse you to the Father: there is who accuses you, Moses, on whom ye trust;

46 F or had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me, for he wrote of me.

for if ye had believed Moses, ye would have believed me, for he wrote of me.

47 B ut if ye do not believe his writings, how shall ye believe my words?

But if ye do not believe his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
