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