1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1After these things 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, which is called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five porticoes. |
3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3In these lay a multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, and withered, waiting for the moving of the waters; |
4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4for an angel of the Lord went down at certain seasons into the pool and stirred up the water; whoever then first, after the stirring up of the water, stepped in was made well from whatever disease with which he was afflicted. |
5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5A man was there who had been ill 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 a long time in that condition, He said to him, "Do you wish to get well?" |
7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7The sick man answered Him, "Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I am coming, another steps down before me." |
8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8Jesus said to him, "Get up, pick up your pallet and walk." |
9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9Immediately the man became well, and picked up his pallet and began to walk. Now it was the Sabbath on that day. |
10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10So the Jews were saying to the man who was cured, "It is the Sabbath, and it is not permissible for you to carry your pallet." |
11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11But he answered them, "He who made me well was the one who said to me, 'Pick up your pallet and walk.'" |
12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12They asked him, "Who is the man who said to you, 'Pick up your pallet and walk '?" |
13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13But the man who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away while there was a crowd in that place. |
14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, "Behold, you have become well; do not sin anymore, so that nothing worse happens to you." |
15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well. |
16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16For this reason the Jews were persecuting Jesus, because He was doing these things on the Sabbath. |
17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17But He answered them, "My Father is working until now, and I Myself am working." |
18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18For this reason therefore the Jews were seeking all the more to kill Him, because He not only was breaking the Sabbath, but also was calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God. |
19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19Therefore Jesus answered and was saying to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father does, these things the Son also does in like manner. |
20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20"For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself is doing; and the Father will show Him greater works than these, so that you will marvel. |
21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21"For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom He wishes. |
22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22"For not even the Father judges anyone, but He has given all judgment to the Son, |
23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23so that all will honor the Son even as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him. |
24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24"Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life. |
25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25"Truly, truly, I say to you, an hour is coming and now is, 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] | 26"For just as the Father has life in Himself, even so He gave to the Son also to have life in Himself; |
27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27and He gave Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man. |
28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28"Do not marvel at this; for an hour is coming, in which all who are in the tombs will hear His voice, |
29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29and will come forth; those who did the good deeds to a resurrection of life, those who committed the evil deeds to a resurrection of judgment. |
30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30"I can do nothing on My own initiative. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. |
31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31"If I alone testify about Myself, My testimony is not true. |
32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32"There is another who testifies of Me, and I know that the testimony which He gives about Me is true. |
33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33"You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth. |
34[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 34"But the testimony which I receive is not from man, but I say these things so that you may be saved. |
35[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 35"He was the lamp that was burning and was shining and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light. |
36[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 36"But the testimony which I have is greater than the testimony of John; for the works which the Father has given Me to accomplish-- the very works that I do-- testify about Me, that the Father has sent Me. |
37[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 37"And the Father who sent Me, He has testified of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time nor seen His form. |
38[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 38"You do not have His word abiding in you, for you do not believe Him whom He sent. |
39[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 39"You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me; |
40[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 40and you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life. |
41[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 41"I do not receive glory from men; |
42[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 42but I know you, that you do not have the love of God in yourselves. |
43[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 43"I 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] | 44"How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and you do not seek the glory that is from the one and only God? |
45[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 45"Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father; the one who accuses you is Moses, in whom you have set your hope. |
46[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 46"For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me, for he wrote about Me. |
47[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 47"But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?" |
