| |
| | Jhn 5:1 | After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
| |
| | Jhn 5:2 | Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, in Hebrew called Beth-za'tha, which has five porticoes.
| |
| | Jhn 5:3 | In these lay a multitude of invalids, blind, lame, paralyzed.
| |
| | Jhn 5:4 |
| |
| | Jhn 5:5 | One man was there, who had been ill for thirty-eight years.
| |
| | Jhn 5:6 | When Jesus saw him and knew that he had been lying there a long time, he said to him, "Do you want to be healed?"
| |
| | Jhn 5:7 | The sick man answered him, "Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is troubled, and while I am going another steps down before me."
| |
| | Jhn 5:8 | Jesus said to him, "Rise, take up your pallet, and walk."
| |
| | Jhn 5:9 | And at once the man was healed, and he took up his pallet and walked. Now that day was the sabbath.
| |
| | Jhn 5:10 | So the Jews said to the man who was cured, "It is the sabbath, it is not lawful for you to carry your pallet."
| |
| | Jhn 5:11 | But he answered them, "The man who healed me said to me, 'Take up your pallet, and walk.'"
| |
| | Jhn 5:12 | They asked him, "Who is the man who said to you, 'Take up your pallet, and walk'?"
| |
| | Jhn 5:13 | Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, as there was a crowd in the place.
| |
| | Jhn 5:14 | Afterward, Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, "See, you are well! Sin no more, that nothing worse befall you."
| |
| | Jhn 5:15 | The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had healed him.
| |
| | Jhn 5:16 | And this was why the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he did this on the sabbath.
| |
| | Jhn 5:17 | But Jesus answered them, "My Father is working still, and I am working."
| |
| | Jhn 5:18 | This was why the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the sabbath but also called God his Father, making himself equal with God.
| |
| | Jhn 5:19 | Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing; for whatever he does, that the Son does likewise.
| |
| | Jhn 5:20 | For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all that he himself is doing; and greater works than these will he show him, that you may marvel.
| |
| | Jhn 5:21 | For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom he will.
| |
| | Jhn 5:22 | The Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son,
| |
| | Jhn 5:23 | that 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.
| |
| | Jhn 5:24 | Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me, has eternal life; he does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.
| |
| | Jhn 5:25 | "Truly, truly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.
| |
| | Jhn 5:26 | For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself,
| |
| | Jhn 5:27 | and has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of man.
| |
| | Jhn 5:28 | Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice
| |
| | Jhn 5:29 | and come forth, those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment.
| |
| | Jhn 5:30 | "I can do nothing on my own authority; as I hear, I judge; and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me.
| |
| | Jhn 5:31 | If I bear witness to myself, my testimony is not true;
| |
| | Jhn 5:32 | there is another who bears witness to me, and I know that the testimony which he bears to me is true.
| |
| | Jhn 5:33 | You sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth.
| |
| | Jhn 5:34 | Not that the testimony which I receive is from man; but I say this that you may be saved.
| |
| | Jhn 5:35 | He was a burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.
| |
| | Jhn 5:36 | But the testimony which I have is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father has granted me to accomplish, these very works which I am doing, bear me witness that the Father has sent me.
| |
| | Jhn 5:37 | And the Father who sent me has himself borne witness to me. His voice you have never heard, his form you have never seen;
| |
| | Jhn 5:38 | and you do not have his word abiding in you, for you do not believe him whom he has sent.
| |
| | Jhn 5:39 | You search the scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness to me;
| |
| | Jhn 5:40 | yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life.
| |
| | Jhn 5:41 | I do not receive glory from men.
| |
| | Jhn 5:42 | But I know that you have not the love of God within you.
| |
| | Jhn 5:43 | I have come in my Father's name, and you do not receive me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive.
| |
| | Jhn 5:44 | How can you believe, who receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?
| |
| | Jhn 5:45 | Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; it is Moses who accuses you, on whom you set your hope.
| |
| | Jhn 5:46 | If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote of me.
| |
| | Jhn 5:47 | But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?"
