1	After these things, there was a feast day of the Jews, and so Jesus ascended to Jerusalem.	After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.	Some time later, Jesus went up to Jerusalem for one of the Jewish festivals.
2	Now at Jerusalem is the Pool of Evidence, which in Hebrew is known as the Place of Mercy; it has five porticos.	Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, in Aramaic called Bethesda, which has five roofed colonnades.	Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, which in Aramaic is called Bethesda and which is surrounded by five covered colonnades.
3	Along these lay a great multitude of the sick, the blind, the lame, and the withered, waiting for the movement of the water.	In these lay a multitude of invalids—blind, lame, and paralyzed.	Here a great number of disabled people used to lie—the blind, the lame, the paralyzed.
4	Now at times an Angel of the Lord would descend into the pool, and so the water was moved. And whoever descended first into the pool, after the motion of the water, he was healed of whatever infirmity held him.
5	And there was a certain man in that place, having been in his infirmity for thirty-eight years.	One man was there who had been an invalid for thirty-eight years.	One who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years.
6	Then, when Jesus had seen him reclining, and when he realized that he had been afflicted for a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be healed?”	When 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?”	When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to get well?”
7	The invalid answered him: “Lord, I do not have any man to put me in the pool, when the water has been stirred. For as I am going, another descends ahead of me.”	The 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.”	“Sir,” the invalid replied, “I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am trying to get in, someone else goes down ahead of me.”
8	Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your stretcher, and walk.”	Jesus said to him, “Get up, take up your bed, and walk.”	Then Jesus said to him, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.”
9	And immediately the man was healed. And he took up his stretcher and walked. Now this day was the Sabbath.	And at once the man was healed, and he took up his bed and walked. Now that day was the Sabbath.	At once the man was cured; he picked up his mat and walked. The day on which this took place was a Sabbath,
10	Therefore, the Jews said to the one who had been healed: “It is the Sabbath. It is not lawful for you to take up your stretcher.”	So 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.”	and so the Jewish leaders said to the man who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath; the law forbids you to carry your mat.”
11	He answered them, “The one who healed me, he said to me, ‘Take up your stretcher and walk.’ ”	But he answered them, “The man who healed me, that man said to me, ‘Take up your bed, and walk.’”	But he replied, “The man who made me well said to me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’ “
12	Therefore, they questioned him, “Who is that man, who said to you, ‘Take up your bed and walk?’ ”	They asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Take up your bed and walk’?”	So they asked him, “Who is this fellow who told you to pick it up and walk?”
13	But the one who had been given health did not know who it was. For Jesus had turned aside from the crowd gathered in that place.	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.	The man who was healed had no idea who it was, for Jesus had slipped away into the crowd that was there.
14	Afterwards, Jesus found him in the temple, and he said to him: “Behold, you have been healed. Do not choose to sin further, otherwise something worse may happen to you.”	Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, “See, you are well! Sin no more, that nothing worse may happen to you.”	Later Jesus found him at the temple and said to him, “See, you are well again. Stop sinning or something worse may happen to you.”
15	This man went away, and he reported to the Jews that it was Jesus who had given him health.	The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had healed him.	The man went away and told the Jewish leaders that it was Jesus who had made him well.
16	Because of this, the Jews were persecuting Jesus, for he was doing these things on the Sabbath.	And this was why the Jews were persecuting Jesus, because he was doing these things on the Sabbath.	So, because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jewish leaders began to persecute him.
17	But Jesus answered them, “Even now, my Father is working, and I am working.”	But Jesus answered them, “My Father is working until now, and I am working.”	In his defense Jesus said to them, “My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I too am working.”
18	And so, because of this, the Jews were seeking to kill him even more so. For not only did he break the Sabbath, but he even said that God was his Father, making himself equal to God.	This 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.	For this reason they tried all the more to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.
19	Then Jesus responded and said to them: “Amen, amen, I say to you, the Son is not able to do anything of himself, but only what he has seen the Father doing. For whatever he does, even this does the Son do, similarly.	So 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.	Jesus gave them this answer: “Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.
20	For the Father loves the Son, and he shows him all that he himself does. And greater works than these will he show him, so much so that you shall wonder.	For 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.	For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does. Yes, and he will show him even greater works than these, so that you will be amazed.
21	For just as the Father raises the dead and gives life, so also does the Son give life to whomever he wills.	For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom he will.	For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son gives life to whom he is pleased to give it.
22	For the Father does not judge anyone. But he has given all judgment to the Son,	For the Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son,	Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son,
23	so that 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.	that 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.	that 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	Amen, amen, I say to you, that whoever hears my word, and believes in him who sent me, has eternal life, and he does not go into judgment, but instead he crosses from death into life.	Truly, 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.	“Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life.
25	Amen, amen, I say to you, that the hour is coming, and it is now, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear it shall live.	“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.	Very truly I tell you, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live.
26	For just as the Father has life in himself, so also has he granted to the Son to have life in himself.	For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself.	For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself.
27	And he has given him the authority to accomplish judgment. For he is the Son of man.	And he has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man.	And he has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man.
28	Do not be amazed at this. For the hour is coming in which all who are in the grave shall hear the voice of the Son of God.	Do not marvel at this, for an hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice	“Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice
29	And those who have done good shall go forth to the resurrection of life. Yet truly, those who have done evil shall go to the resurrection of judgment.	and come out, those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.	and come out—those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned.
30	I am not able to do anything of myself. As I hear, so do I judge. And my judgment is just. For I do not seek my own will, but the will of him who sent me.	“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.	By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me.
31	If I offer testimony about myself, my testimony is not true.	If I alone bear witness about myself, my testimony is not true.	“If I testify about myself, my testimony is not true.
32	There is another who offers testimony about me, and I know that the testimony which he offers about me is true.	There is another who bears witness about me, and I know that the testimony that he bears about me is true.	There is another who testifies in my favor, and I know that his testimony about me is true.
33	You sent to John, and he offered testimony to the truth.	You sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth.	“You have sent to John and he has testified to the truth.
34	But I do not accept testimony from man. Instead, I say these things, so that you may be saved.	Not that the testimony that I receive is from man, but I say these things so that you may be saved.	Not that I accept human testimony; but I mention it that you may be saved.
35	He was a burning and shining light. So you were willing, at the time, to exult in his light.	He was a burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.	John was a lamp that burned and gave light, and you chose for a time to enjoy his light.
36	But I hold a greater testimony than that of John. For the works which the Father has given to me, so that I may complete them, these works themselves that I do, offer testimony about me: that the Father has sent me.	But 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.	“I have testimony weightier than that of John. For the works that the Father has given me to finish—the very works that I am doing—testify that the Father has sent me.
37	And the Father who has sent me has himself offered testimony about me. And you have never heard his voice, nor have you beheld his appearance.	And the Father who sent me has himself borne witness about me. His voice you have never heard, his form you have never seen,	And the Father who sent me has himself testified concerning me. You have never heard his voice nor seen his form,
38	And you do not have his word abiding in you. For the one whom he sent, the same you would not believe.	and you do not have his word abiding in you, for you do not believe the one whom he has sent.	nor does his word dwell in you, for you do not believe the one he sent.
39	Study the Scriptures. For you think that in them you have eternal life. And yet they also offer testimony about me.	You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me,	You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me,
40	And you are not willing to come to me, so that you may have life.	yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life.	yet you refuse to come to me to have life.
41	I do not accept glory from men.	I do not receive glory from people.	“I do not accept glory from human beings,
42	But I know you, that you do not have the love of God within you.	But I know that you do not have the love of God within you.	but I know you. I know that you do not have the love of God in your hearts.
43	I have come in the name of my Father, and you do not accept me. If another will arrive in his own name, him you will accept.	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.	I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not accept me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him.
44	How are you able to believe, you who accept glory from one another and yet do not seek the glory that is from God alone?	How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?	How can you believe since you accept glory from one another but do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?
45	Do not consider that I might accuse you with the Father. There is one who accuses you, Moses, in whom you hope.	Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you: Moses, on whom you have set your hope.	“But do not think I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, on whom your hopes are set.
46	For if you were believing in Moses, perhaps you would believe in me also. For he wrote about me.	For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote of me.	If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me.
47	But if you do not believe by his writings, how will you believe by my words?”	But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?”	But since you do not believe what he wrote, how are you going to believe what I say?”
