John 5

After this there was ^aa feast of the Jews; and Jesus ^bwent up to Jerusalem. ²Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called ^bbin the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches. ³In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, ^cwithered, waiting for the moving of the water. ⁴For ^ccan 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. ⁵And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years. ⁶When 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? ⁷The 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. ⁸Jesus saith unto him, ^dRise, take up thy bed, and walk. ⁹And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day ^ewas the sabbath. ^10fThe Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: ^git is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed. ¹¹He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk. ¹²Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk? ¹³And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place. ¹⁴Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: ^hsin no more, ⁱlest a worse thing come unto thee. ¹⁵The man departed, and told ^fthe Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole.

¹⁶And therefore did ^fthe Jews persecute Jesus, and ⁿsought to slay him, because ^jhe had done these things on the sabbath day. ¹⁷But Jesus ^kanswered them, My Father worketh ^lhitherto, ^mand I work. ¹⁸Therefore ^fthe Jews ⁿsought the more to kill him, because he not only ^jhad broken the sabbath, but ^osaid also that God was ^phis Father, ^qmaking himself equal with God. ¹⁹Then ^kanswered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing ^rof himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. ²⁰For ^sthe Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and ^the will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel. ²¹For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and ^uquickeneth them; even so ^vthe Son quickeneth whom he will. ²²For the Father judgeth no man, but ^whath committed all ^xjudgment unto the Son: ²³that all men should honour the Son, even as they ^yhonour the Father. ^zHe that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him. ²⁴Verily, verily, I say unto you, ^aHe that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but ^bis passed from death unto life. ²⁵Verily, verily, I say unto you, ^cThe hour is coming, and now is, when ^dthe dead shall hear ^ddthe voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. ²⁶For as the Father hath life in himself; ^eso hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; ²⁷and ^fhath given him ^gauthority to execute ^hjudgment also, ⁱbecause he is the Son of man. ^28jMarvel not at this: for ^dthe hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, ^29kand shall come forth; ^lthey that have ^mdone good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have ^mndone evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. ^30oI can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because ^pI seek not mine own will, but ^qthe will of the Father which hath sent me. ^31rIf I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. ³²There is ^sanother that beareth witness of me; and ^tI know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true. ^33uYe sent unto John, and ^vhe bare witness unto the truth. ³⁴But ^wI receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved. ³⁵He ^xwas a burning and ^ya shining ^zlight: and ye were willing ^afor a season to rejoice in his light. ³⁶But I have ^bgreater witness than that of John: for ^bbthe works which ^cthe Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that ^ccthe Father hath sent me. ³⁷And the Father himself, ^ccwhich hath sent me, ^dhath borne witness of me. Ye have neither ^eheard his voice at any time, nor ^fseen his shape. ³⁸And ^gye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not. ^39hSearch the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and ⁱthey are they which testify of me. ⁴⁰And ^kye will not come to me, that ye might have life. ⁴¹I receive not ^lhonour from men. ⁴²But ^mI know you, that ye have not ⁿthe love of God in you. ⁴³ⁿⁿI am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if ^oanother shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. ⁴⁴How can ye believe, which receive ^phonour one of another, and seek not ^qthe honour that cometh from God ^qqonly? ⁴⁵Do not think ^rthat I will accuse you to the Father: ^sthere is one that accuseth you, even Moses, ^tin whom ye trust. ⁴⁶For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for ^uhe wrote of me. ⁴⁷But if ye believe not his ^xwritings, ^yhow shall ye believe my words?
