TKJU(i)
1 After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 Now there is a pool in Jerusalem by the sheep market, which is called Bethesda in the Hebrew tongue, having five porches.
3 In these lay a large multitude of feeble folk, blind, crippled, 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: Whoever then stepped in first after the troubling of the water was made whole of whatever disease he had.
5 Now a certain man was there who had an infirmity thirty eight years.
6 When Jesus saw him laying, and knew that he had now been in that state a long time, He said to him, "Are you willing to be made whole?"
7 The feeble man answered Him, "Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is troubled: But while I am coming, another steps down before me."
8 Jesus said to him, "Rise, take up your bed, and walk."
9 And immediately the man was made whole, took up his bed, and walked: And on the same day was the Sabbath.
10 The Jews therefore said to him that was cured, "It is the Sabbath day: It is not lawful for you to carry your bed."
11 He answered them, "He that made me whole, the same said to me, 'Take up your bed, and walk.' "
12 Then they asked him, "Who is the Man that said to you, 'Take up your bed, and walk'?"
13 But he that was healed did not know who it was: For Jesus had moved Himself away, a multitude being in that place.
14 Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, "Behold, you are made whole: Sin no more, lest a worse thing come to you."
15 The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus that had made him whole.
16 And therefore the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to slay Him, because He had done these things on the Sabbath day.
17 But Jesus answered them, "My Father works yet, and I work."
18 Therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill Him, because He not only had broken the Sabbath, but also said that God was His Father, making Himself equal with God.
19 Then Jesus answered and said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, The Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do: For whatever things He does, the Son also does these likewise.
20 For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself does: And He will show Him greater works than these, that you may marvel.
21 For as the Father raises up the dead, and makes them alive; even so the Son makes alive whom He will.
22 For the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son:
23 That all men should honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He that does not honor the Son does not honor the Father which sent Him.
24 "Truly, truly, I say to you, He who hears My word, and believes on Him that sent Me, has everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but has passed from death to life.
25 Truly, truly, I say to you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: And those that hear shall live.
26 For as the Father has life in Himself; so He has given to the Son to have life in Himself;
27 and has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man.
28 Do not marvel at this: For the hour is coming, in which all that are in the graves shall hear His voice,
29 and shall come forth; those that have done good, to the resurrection of life; and those that have done evil, to the resurrection of damnation.
30 I can of My own self do nothing: As I hear, I judge: And My judgment is just; because I do not seek My own will, but the will of the Father which has sent Me.
31 If I bear witness of Myself, My witness is not true.
32 There is another that bears witness of Me; and I know that the witness which He witnesses of Me is true.
33 You sent to John, and he bore witness to the truth.
34 But I do not receive testimony from man: But these things I say, that you might be saved.
35 He was a burning and a shining light: And you were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
36 But I have a greater witness than that of John: For the works which the Father has given Me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of Me, that the Father has sent Me.
37 And the Father Himself, which has sent Me, has borne witness of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His shape.
38 And you do not have His word abiding in you: For whom He has sent, Him you do not believe.
39 Search the scriptures; for in them you think you have eternal life: And these are they which testify of Me.
40 And you are not willing to come to Me, that you might have life.
41 I do not receive honor from men.
42 But I know you, that you do not have the love of God in you.
43 I have come in My Father's name, and you do not receive Me: If another shall come in his own name, him you will receive.
44 How can you believe, who receive honor from one another, and do not seek the honor that comes from God only?
45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: There is one that accuses you, even Moses, in whom you trust.
46 For had you believed Moses, you would have believed Me: For he wrote of Me.
47 But if you do not believe his writings, how shall you believe My words?"
