John 5
5
The Healing at Bethesda
1After these things there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2Now in Jerusalem, by the Sheep Gate, there is a pool which in #5:2 I.e., Jewish AramaicHebrew is called #5:2 Some early mss Bethsaida or BethzathaBethesda, having five #5:2 Or colonnades (with roofs)porticoes. 3In these porticoes lay a multitude of those who were sick, blind, limping, or #5:3 Or had shrunken limbsparalyzed.#5:3 Late mss add the following as the remainder of v 3, and v 4: paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the waters; for an angel of the Lord went down at certain seasons into the pool and stirred up the water; whoever then first stepped in after the stirring up of the water was made well from whatever disease with which he was afflicted 5Now a man was there who had been #5:5 Lit in his sicknessill for thirty-eight years. 6Jesus, upon seeing this man lying there and knowing that he had already been in that condition for a long time, *said to him, “Do you want to get well?” 7The sick man answered Him, “Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I am coming, another steps down before me.” 8Jesus *said to him, “Get up, pick up your pallet and walk.” 9Immediately the man became well, and picked up his pallet and began to walk.
Now it was a Sabbath on that day. 10So the Jews were saying to the man who was cured, “It is a Sabbath, and it is not permissible for you to carry your pallet.” 11But he answered them, “He who made me well was the one who said to me, ‘Pick up your pallet and walk.’ ” 12They asked him, “Who is the Man who said to you, ‘Pick it up and walk’?” 13But the man who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away while there was a crowd in that place. 14Afterward, Jesus *found him in the temple and said to him, “Behold, you have become well; do not sin anymore, so that nothing worse happens to you.” 15The man went away, and informed the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well. 16For this reason the Jews were persecuting Jesus, because He was doing these things on a Sabbath. 17But He answered them, “My Father #5:17 I.e., has been and continuesis working until now, and I Myself am working.”
Jesus’ Equality with God
18For this reason therefore the Jews were seeking all the more to kill Him, because He not only was breaking the Sabbath, but also was calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.
19Therefore Jesus answered and was saying to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever #5:19 Lit that Onethe Father does, these things the Son also does in the same way. 20For the Father loves the Son and shows Him all things that He Himself is doing; and the Father will show Him greater works than these, so that you will be amazed. 21For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so the Son also gives life to whom He wishes. 22For not even the Father judges anyone, but He has given all judgment to the Son, 23so that all will honor the Son just as they honor the Father. The one who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.
24 “Truly, truly, I say to you, the one who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.
Two Resurrections
25 Truly, truly, I say to you, # 5:25 Lit an hour a time is coming and # 5:25 Lit now is, when even now has arrived, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live. 26For just as the Father has life in Himself, so He gave to the Son also to have life in Himself; 27and He gave Him authority to execute judgment, because He is #5:27 Or a son of manthe Son of Man. 28Do not be amazed at this; for #5:28 Lit an houra time is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear His voice, 29and will come out: those who did the good deeds to a resurrection of life, those who committed the bad deeds to a resurrection of judgment.
30 “I can do nothing # 5:30 Or of Myself on My own. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is # 5:30 Or fair righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of Him who sent Me.
31 “If I alone testify about Myself, My testimony is not # 5:31 I.e., admissible as legal evidence true. 32There is another who testifies about Me, and I know that the testimony which He gives about Me is true.
Testimony of John the Baptist
33 You have sent messengers to John, and he has testified to the truth. 34But the testimony I receive is not from man, but I say these things so that you may be saved. 35He was the lamp that was burning and shining, and you were willing to rejoice for #5:35 Lit an houra while in his light.
Testimony of Works
36 But the testimony I have is greater than the testimony of John; for the works which the Father has given Me to accomplish—the very works that I do—testify about Me, that the Father has sent Me.
Testimony of the Father
37 And the Father who sent Me, He has testified about Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His form. 38Also you do not have His word remaining in you, because you do not believe Him whom He sent.
Testimony of the Scripture
39 # 5:39 Or (a command) Examine the Scriptures You examine the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is those very Scriptures that testify about Me; 40and yet you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life. 41I do not receive glory from people; 42but I know you, that you do not have the love of God in yourselves. 43I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not #5:43 Or acceptreceive Me; if another comes in his own name, you will #5:43 Or acceptreceive him. 44How can you believe, when you #5:44 Or receiveaccept #5:44 Or honorglory from one another and you do not seek the #5:44 Or honorglory that is from the one and only God? 45Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father; the one who accuses you is Moses, in whom you have put your hope. 46For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote about Me. 47But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?”
