1After these things there was a feast of the Jews; and Yeshua went up to Jerusalem. 2Now there is in Jerusalem by the sheep gate a pool, which is called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five porches. 3In these lay a multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, withered. 4 5And a certain man was there, who had been thirty-eight years in his infirmity. 6When Yeshua saw him lying, and knew that he had been now a long time in that condition, he says to him, Do you want to be made whole? 7The sick 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. 8Yeshua says to him, Arise, take up your bed, and walk. 9And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed and walked. Now it was the sabbath on that day. 10So the Jews said to him who was cured, It is the sabbath, and it is not lawful for you to take up your bed. 11But he answered them, He who made me whole, he said to me, Take up your bed, and walk. 12They asked him, Who is the man who said to you, Take up your bed, and walk? 13But he who was healed did not know who it was; for Yeshua had withdrawn, a multitude being in the place. 14Afterward Yeshua finds him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, you are made whole: sin no more, lest something worse happen to you. 15The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Yeshua who had made him whole. 16And for this reason the Jews persecuted Yeshua, because he did these things on the sabbath. 17But Yeshua answered them, My Father works even until now, and I work. 18For this reason therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the sabbath, but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God. 19Yeshua therefore answered and said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father doing: for whatever things he does, these the Son also does in like manner. 20For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all things that he himself does: and greater works than these he will show him, that you may marvel. 21For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom he will. 22For neither does the Father judge any man, but he has given all judgment to the Son; 23that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him. 24Truly, truly, I say to you, The one hearing my word, and believing him who sent me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life. 25Truly, truly, I say to you, The hour comes, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear shall live. 26For as the Father has life in himself, even so he gave to the Son also to have life in himself: 27and he gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man. 28Do not marvel at this: for the hour comes, in which all who are in the tombs shall hear his voice, 29and shall come out; those who have done good, to the resurrection of life; and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment. 30I can of myself do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is righteous; because I do not seek my own will, but the will of him who sent me. 31If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. 32It is another who bears witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesses of me is true. 33You have sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth. 34But the witness which I receive is not from man: however, I say these things, that you may be saved. 35He was the lamp that burns and shines; and you were willing to rejoice for a season in his light. 36But the witness which I have is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father has given me to accomplish, the very works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father has sent me. 37And the Father who sent me, he has borne witness of me. You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form. 38And you do not have his word abiding in you: for whom he sent, him you do not believe. 39You search the scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and these are they which bear witness of me; 40and you will not come to me, that you may have life. 41I do not receive glory from men. 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 receive me: if another comes in his own name, him you will receive. 44How can you believe, who receive glory from one another, and the glory that comes from the only God you do not seek? 45Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one who accuses you, even Moses, on whom you have set your hope. 46For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote of me. 47But if you do not believe his writings, how shall you believe my words?
