1[an error occurred while processing this directive]1After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2[an error occurred while processing this directive]2Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, in Aramaic called Bethesda, which has five roofed colonnades.
3[an error occurred while processing this directive]3In these lay a multitude of invalids—blind, lame, and paralyzed.
4[an error occurred while processing this directive]4
5[an error occurred while processing this directive]5One man was there who had been an invalid for thirty-eight years.
6[an error occurred while processing this directive]6When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had already been there a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be healed?”
7[an error occurred while processing this directive]7The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, and while I am going another steps down before me.”
8[an error occurred while processing this directive]8Jesus said to him, “Get up, take up your bed, and walk.”
9[an error occurred while processing this directive]9And at once the man was healed, and he took up his bed and walked. Now that day was the Sabbath.
10[an error occurred while processing this directive]10So the Jews said to the man who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath, and it is not lawful for you to take up your bed.”
11[an error occurred while processing this directive]11But he answered them, “The man who healed me, that man said to me, ‘Take up your bed, and walk.’”
12[an error occurred while processing this directive]12They asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Take up your bed and walk’?”
13[an error occurred while processing this directive]13Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, as there was a crowd in the place.
14[an error occurred while processing this directive]14Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, “See, you are well! Sin no more, that nothing worse may happen to you.”
15[an error occurred while processing this directive]15The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had healed him.
16[an error occurred while processing this directive]16And this was why the Jews were persecuting Jesus, because he was doing these things on the Sabbath.
17[an error occurred while processing this directive]17But Jesus answered them, “My Father is working until now, and I am working.”
18[an error occurred while processing this directive]18This was why the Jews were seeking all the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.
19[an error occurred while processing this directive]19So 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 the Father does, that the Son does likewise.
20[an error occurred while processing this directive]20For the Father loves the Son and shows him all that he himself is doing. And greater works than these will he show him, so that you may marvel.
21[an error occurred while processing this directive]21For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom he will.
22[an error occurred while processing this directive]22For the Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son,
23[an error occurred while processing this directive]23that all may honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.
24[an error occurred while processing this directive]24Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever 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.
25[an error occurred while processing this directive]25“Truly, truly, I say to you, an hour is coming, and is now here, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.
26[an error occurred while processing this directive]26For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself.
27[an error occurred while processing this directive]27And he has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man.
28[an error occurred while processing this directive]28Do not marvel at this, for an hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice
29[an error occurred while processing this directive]29and come out, those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.
30[an error occurred while processing this directive]30“I can do nothing on my own. 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.
31[an error occurred while processing this directive]31If I alone bear witness about myself, my testimony is not true.
32[an error occurred while processing this directive]32There is another who bears witness about me, and I know that the testimony that he bears about me is true.
33[an error occurred while processing this directive]33You sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth.
34[an error occurred while processing this directive]34Not that the testimony that I receive is from man, but I say these things so that you may be saved.
35[an error occurred while processing this directive]35He was a burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.
36[an error occurred while processing this directive]36But the testimony that I have is greater than that of John. For the works that the Father has given me to accomplish, the very works that I am doing, bear witness about me that the Father has sent me.
37[an error occurred while processing this directive]37And the Father who sent me has himself borne witness about me. His voice you have never heard, his form you have never seen,
38[an error occurred while processing this directive]38and you do not have his word abiding in you, for you do not believe the one whom he has sent.
39[an error occurred while processing this directive]39You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me,
40[an error occurred while processing this directive]40yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life.
41[an error occurred while processing this directive]41I do not receive glory from people.
42[an error occurred while processing this directive]42But I know that you do not have the love of God within you.
43[an error occurred while processing this directive]43I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not receive me. If another comes in his own name, you will receive him.
44[an error occurred while processing this directive]44How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?
45[an error occurred while processing this directive]45Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you: Moses, on whom you have set your hope.
46[an error occurred while processing this directive]46For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote of me.
47[an error occurred while processing this directive]47But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?”
