John 5
English Standard Version
The Healing at the Pool on the Sabbath
5 After this there was a (A)feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 Now there is in Jerusalem by (B)the Sheep Gate a pool, in Aramaic[a] called Bethesda,[b] which has five roofed colonnades. 3 In these lay a multitude of invalids—blind, lame, and (C)paralyzed.[c] 5 One man was there who had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had already been there a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be healed?” 7 The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, and while I am going another steps down before me.” 8 Jesus said to him, (D)“Get up, take up your bed, and walk.” 9 (E)And at once the man was healed, and he took up his bed and walked.
(F)Now that day was the Sabbath. 10 So the Jews[d] said to the man who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath, and (G)it is not lawful for you to take up your bed.” 11 But he answered them, “The man who healed me, that man said to me, ‘Take up your bed, and walk.’” 12 They asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Take up your bed and walk’?” 13 Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for (H)Jesus had withdrawn, as there was a crowd in the place. 14 Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, “See, you are well! (I)Sin no more, (J)that nothing worse may happen to you.” 15 The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had healed him. 16 And this was why the Jews (K)were persecuting Jesus, (L)because he was doing these things on the Sabbath. 17 But Jesus answered them, “My Father is working until now, and I am working.”
Jesus Is Equal with God
18 This was why the Jews (M)were seeking all the more to kill him, (N)because not only was he (O)breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God (P)his own Father, (Q)making himself equal with God.
The Authority of the Son
19 So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, (R)the Son (S)can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father[e] does, that the Son does likewise. 20 For (T)the Father loves the Son and shows him all that he himself is doing. And (U)greater works than these will he show him, so that (V)you may marvel. 21 For as the Father (W)raises the dead and (X)gives them life, so (Y)also the Son gives life (Z)to whom he will. 22 (AA)For the Father judges no one, but (AB)has given all judgment to the Son, 23 that all may honor the Son, just as they (AC)honor the Father. (AD)Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him. 24 Truly, truly, I say to you, (AE)whoever hears my word and (AF)believes him who sent me has eternal life. He (AG)does not come into judgment, but (AH)has passed from death to life.
25 “Truly, truly, I say to you, (AI)an hour is coming, and is now here, when (AJ)the dead will hear (AK)the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear (AL)will live. 26 (AM)For as the Father has life in himself, (AN)so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself. 27 And he (AO)has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man. 28 Do not marvel at this, for (AP)an hour is coming when (AQ)all who are in the tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, (AR)those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.
Witnesses to Jesus
30 (AS)“I can do nothing on my own. As I hear, I judge, and (AT)my judgment is just, because (AU)I seek not my own will (AV)but the will of him who sent me. 31 (AW)If I alone bear witness about myself, my testimony is not true. 32 There is (AX)another who bears witness about me, and (AY)I know that the testimony that he bears about me is true. 33 (AZ)You sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth. 34 Not that (BA)the testimony that I receive is from man, but I say these things so that you may be saved. 35 He was a burning and (BB)shining lamp, and (BC)you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light. 36 But (BD)the testimony that I have is greater than that of John. For (BE)the works that the Father has given me (BF)to accomplish, the very works that I am doing, (BG)bear witness about me that (BH)the Father has sent me. 37 And the Father who sent me (BI)has himself borne witness about me. His voice you have never heard, (BJ)his form you have never seen, 38 and (BK)you do not have his word abiding in you, for you do not believe the one whom he has sent. 39 (BL)You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and (BM)it is they that bear witness about me, 40 yet (BN)you refuse to come to me that you may have life. 41 (BO)I do not receive glory from people. 42 But (BP)I know that you do not have (BQ)the love of God within you. 43 I have come (BR)in my Father's name, and (BS)you do not receive me. (BT)If another comes in his own name, you will receive him. 44 How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and (BU)do not seek the glory that comes from (BV)the only God? 45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you: Moses, (BW)on whom you have set your hope. 46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for (BX)he wrote of me. 47 But (BY)if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?”

5 After meta this houtos there was eimi a festival heortē of the ho Jews Ioudaios, and kai Jesus Iēsous went up anabainō to eis Jerusalem Hierosolyma. 2 Now de in en · ho Jerusalem Hierosolyma by epi the ho Sheep probatikos Gate there is eimi a pool kolymbēthra, in Hebrew Hebraisti · ho called epilegō Bethesda, having echō five pente covered stoa colonnades . 3 In en these houtos lay katakeimai a number plēthos of ho disabled astheneō people — blind typhlos, lame chōlos, and paralyzed xēros. 5 One tis man anthrōpos who was eimi · de there ekei had been echō an invalid astheneia for thirty-eight triakonta · kai years etos. · ho 6 When Jesus Iēsous saw him houtos · ho lying katakeimai there and kai learned ginōskō that hoti he had echō been in that condition for a long polys time chronos already ēdē, he said legō to him autos, “ Do you want thelō to be ginomai healed hygiēs?” 7 The ho sick man astheneō answered apokrinomai him autos, “ Sir kyrios, I have echō no ou one anthrōpos to hina put ballō me egō into eis the ho pool kolymbēthra when hotan the ho water hydōr is stirred tarassō up , but de while en hos I egō am on my way erchomai someone allos else steps down katabainō ahead pro of me egō.” 8 Jesus Iēsous said legō to him autos, · ho “ Get egeirō up , pick airō up · ho your sy mat krabattos and kai walk peripateō.” 9 And kai immediately eutheōs the ho man anthrōpos was ginomai healed hygiēs, and kai he picked airō up · ho his autos mat krabattos and kai started walking peripateō. Now de that ekeinos day hēmera was eimi a Sabbath sabbaton. · ho 10 So oun the ho Jews Ioudaios said legō to the ho man who had been healed therapeuō, “ It is eimi the Sabbath sabbaton, and kai it is not ou lawful for you sy to carry airō · ho your sy mat krabattos. 11 But de he ho answered apokrinomai them autos, “ The ho man ekeinos who made poieō me egō well hygiēs said legō to me egō, ‘ Pick airō up · ho your sy mat krabattos and kai walk peripateō.’” 12 They questioned erōtaō him autos, “ Who tis is eimi the ho man anthrōpos who ho said legō to you sy, ‘ Pick airō up your mat and kai walk peripateō’?” 13 However de, the ho man who had been healed iaomai did not ou know oida who tis it was eimi, · ho for gar Jesus Iēsous had slipped ekneuō away , there being eimi a crowd ochlos in en that ho place topos. 14 Later meta on houtos Jesus Iēsous found heuriskō him autos · ho in en the ho temple hieron and kai said legō to him autos, “ See ide, you have been ginomai healed hygiēs! Do hamartanō not sin hamartanō any mēketi longer , so hina that nothing mē worse cheirōn happens ginomai to you sy.” 15 The ho man anthrōpos went aperchomai away and kai told anangellō the ho Jews Ioudaios that hoti it was eimi Jesus Iēsous who ho had made poieō him autos well hygiēs. 16 And kai this is why dia the ho Jews Ioudaios were persecuting diōkō · ho Jesus Iēsous, because hoti he was doing poieō these houtos things on en the Sabbath sabbaton. 17 But de Jesus ho answered apokrinomai them autos, · ho “ My egō Father patēr has been working ergazomai until heōs now arti, and I kagō also am working ergazomai.” 18 This was why dia the ho Jews Ioudaios were seeking zēteō all the more mallon to kill apokteinō him autos, because hoti he not ou only monon used to break lyō the ho Sabbath sabbaton, but alla he legō also kai was calling legō God theos his own idios Father patēr, · ho thus making poieō himself heautou equal isos with ho God theos. 19 Answering apokrinomai, then oun, · ho Jesus Iēsous · kai said legō to them autos, “ I tell legō you hymeis the solemn amēn truth amēn, the ho Son hyios can dynamai do poieō nothing oudeis on apo his heautou own , but only ean what tis he sees blepō the ho Father patēr doing poieō; for gar whatever hos the Father ekeinos does poieō, · kai the ho Son hyios is doing poieō likewise homoiōs. 20 For gar the ho Father patēr loves phileō the ho Son hyios and kai shows deiknymi him autos everything pas that hos he autos is doing poieō; and kai he will show deiknymi him autos greater megas works ergon than these houtos, and hina you hymeis will be amazed thaumazō. 21 For gar as hōsper the ho Father patēr raises egeirō the ho dead nekros and kai gives them life zōiopoieō, so houtōs also kai the ho Son hyios gives life to zōiopoieō those hos he chooses thelō. 22 Furthermore oude gar, the ho Father patēr judges krinō no oudeis one , but alla has given didōmi · ho all pas judgment krisis to the ho Son hyios, 23 so hina that everyone pas should honor timaō the ho Son hyios just kathōs as they honor timaō the ho Father patēr.
