1 Af­ter this there was a feast of the Jews; and Je­sus went up to Jerusalem. 2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the He­brew tongue Bethes­da, hav­ing five porch­es. 3 In these lay a great mul­ti­tude of im­po­tent folk, of blind, halt, with­ered, wait­ing for the mov­ing of the wa­ter. 4 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. 5 And a cer­tain man was there, which had an in­fir­mi­ty thir­ty and eight years. 6 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? 7 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. 8 Je­sus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. 9 And im­me­di­ate­ly the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sab­bath. 10 The Jews there­fore said unto him that was cured, It is the sab­bath day: it is not law­ful for thee to car­ry thy bed. 11 He an­swered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk. 12 Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk? 13 And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Je­sus had con­veyed him­self away, a mul­ti­tude be­ing in that place. 14 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. 15 The man de­part­ed, and told the Jews that it was Je­sus, which had made him whole. 16 And there­fore did the Jews per­se­cute Je­sus, and sought to slay him, be­cause he had done these things on the sab­bath day. 17 But Je­sus an­swered them, My Fa­ther wor­keth hith­er­to, and I work. 18 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. 19 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. 20 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. 21 For as the Fa­ther raiseth up the dead, and quick­eneth them; even so the Son quick­eneth whom he will. 22 For the Fa­ther jud­geth no man, but hath com­mit­ted all judg­ment unto the Son: 23 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. 24 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. 25 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. 26 For as the Fa­ther hath life in him­self; so hath he giv­en to the Son to have life in him­self; 27 And hath giv­en him au­thor­i­ty to ex­e­cute judg­ment al­so, be­cause he is the Son of man. 28 Mar­vel not at this: for the hour is com­ing, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, 29 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. 30 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. 31 If I bear wit­ness of my­self, my wit­ness is not true. 32 There is an­oth­er that beareth wit­ness of me; and I know that the wit­ness which he wit­nes­seth of me is true. 33 Ye sent unto John, and he bare wit­ness unto the truth. 34 But I re­ceive not tes­ti­mo­ny from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved. 35 He was a burn­ing and a shin­ing light: and ye were will­ing for a sea­son to re­joice in his light. 36 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. 37 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. 38 And ye have not his word abid­ing in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye be­lieve not. 39 Search the scrip­tures; for in them ye think ye have eter­nal life: and they are they which tes­ti­fy of me. 40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. 41 I re­ceive not hon­our from men. 42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. 43 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. 44 How can ye be­lieve, which re­ceive hon­our one of an­oth­er, and seek not the hon­our that cometh from God on­ly? 45 Do not think that I will ac­cuse you to the Fa­ther: there is one that ac­cuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust. 46 For had ye be­lieved Moses, ye would have be­lieved me: for he wrote of me. 47 But if ye be­lieve not his writ­ings, how shall ye be­lieve my words?
