John 5:1–23

^*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.
