After these things was the feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
Now there is in Jerusalem at the sheep-gate a pool that is called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five porches.
In these lay a multitude of the sick, blind, lame, withered [awaiting the moving of the water.
For an angel descended from time to time in the pool and troubled the water. He therefore that first went in after the troubling of the water, became well, whatever disease he was affected by.]
But a certain man was there, for thirty and eight years suffering under his infirmity.
Jesus seeing him lying down, and knowing that he was [so] now a long time, saith to him, Desirest thou to become well?
The infirm [man] answered, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool; but whilst I am coming, another goeth down before me.
Jesus saith to him, Arise, take up thy couch, and walk.
And immediately the man became well and took up his couch and walked. And on that day was Sabbath.
The Jews therefore said to him that was cured, It is Sabbath, and it is not allowed thee to take up thy couch.
He answered them, He that made me well, the same said to me, Take up thy couch and walk.
They asked him [therefore], Who is the man that said to thee, Take up [thy couch] and walk?
But he that was healed knew not who he was, for Jesus withdrew, a crowd being in the place.
After these things Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou art made well. Sin no more, lest some worse thing happen to thee.
The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
And for this the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he did these things on a Sabbath.
But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
For this therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that God was his own Father, making himself equal with God.
Jesus then answered and said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, The Son can do nothing of himself unless he sees the Father doing something; for whatever things he doeth, these also the Son doeth in like manner.
For the Father loveth the Son and showeth him all things which he himself doeth; and he will show him greater works than these that ye may wonder.
For even as the Father raiseth the dead and quickeneth, so the Son also quickeneth whom he will;
for not even the Father judgeth anyone, but hath given all the judgment to the Son;
that all may honour the Son even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father that sent him.
Verily, verily, I say to you, He that heareth my word and believeth him that sent me hath life eternal, and cometh not into judgment, but is passed out of death into life.
Verily, verily I say to you, 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.
For even as the Father hath life in himself, so he gave to the Son also to have life in himself;
and gave him authority to execute judgment [also], because he is Son of man.
Wonder not at this; for an hour is coming, in which all that are in the tombs shall hear his voice,
and shall go forth, those that practiced good unto a resurrection of life, and those that did evil unto a resurrection of judgment.
I cannot do anything of myself; as I hear I judge, and my judgment is righteous, because I seek not my will, but the will of him that sent me.
If I bear witness about myself, my witness is not true.
It is another that beareth witness about me, and I know that the witness which he beareth about me is true.
Ye have sent unto John, and he hath borne witness to the truth.
But I do not receive the witness from man; but these things I say that ye may be saved.
He was the burning and shining lamp, and ye were willing to rejoice for a season in his light.
But I have the witness greater than of John; for the works which the Father hath given me that I should complete them, the works themselves which I do bear witness about me that the Father hath sent me.
And the Father who sent me, himself hath borne witness about me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time nor seen his shape;
and his word ye have not abiding in you, because him whom he sent ye do not believe.
Search the scriptures, for ye think that ye have in them life eternal; and it is they that bear witness about me.
And ye are not willing to come unto me that ye may have life.
Glory from men I do not receive;
but I know you that ye have not the love of God in yourselves.
I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another come in his own name, him ye will receive.
How can ye believe who receive glory one of another, and seek not the glory which [is] from the only God?
Think not that I will accuse you unto the Father: there is one that accuseth you, Moses, on whom ye trust;
for if 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?
