	HAWEIS Haweis New Testament	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
1	AFTER these things there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up 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 there is at Jerusalem near the sheep-market a pool, called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having 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	In these lay a vast multitude of infirm persons, blind, lame, withered, waiting the motion 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	For occasionally an angel descended into the pool, and put the water into commotion: he therefore who first stepped in after the commotion of the water became well, under whatever complaint he had laboured.
5	And there was a certain man there, who had a complaint of thirty years standing.	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	Jesus seeing him laid there, and knowing that he had been so for a long while, saith to him, Wilt thou be made sound?	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 infirm man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is disturbed, to cast me into the pool: but when I am coming, another goeth down before 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 saith to him, Arise, take up thy bed, 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 instantly the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked away: and that 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	The Jews therefore said to him that was cured, It is the sabbath: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.	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, He that made me whole, the same person said to me, Take up thy bed, 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	Then they asked him, Who is the man that said to thee, Take up thy 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	Now he that was cured knew not who he was: for Jesus had slipped away, a crowd being on the spot.	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	After these things Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Take care; thou art made whole: sin no more, lest something worse befall thee.	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	The man went, and informed the Jews, that it was Jesus who had made him whole.	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	And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to kill him, because he had done these things on the sabbath-day.	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	Then Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.	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	Therefore sought they the more to kill him, because he had not only broken the sabbath, but called God his own Father, setting himself on an equality with 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	Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing by himself, except what he hath seen the Father do: for whatsoever things he doeth, the same and in the same manner doth the Son.	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 loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things which he himself doeth: and greater works than these will he shew him, that ye may 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 as the Father raiseth the dead, and quickeneth them; so also doth the Son quicken whom he pleases.	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 never judgeth any man, but hath committed 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	in order that all may honour the Son, just as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son, doth not honour 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	Verily, verily, I say unto you, That he that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment; but is passed 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	Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, yea, it is now, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear 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 as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to 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.	For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself.
27	and hath given him authority also to execute judgment, because 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	Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in which all who are in the graves shall hear his voice,	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 they shall come forth; they who have done good actions to the resurrection of life; and they who have been guilty of foul practices, to the resurrection of damnation.	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 perform any thing by myself: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; for I seek not my own will, but the will of my Father 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 bear witness of myself, my witness 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 beareth witness of me, and I know that his witness is true which he witnesseth concerning me.	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	Ye sent to John, and he bore 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 receive not testimony from man: but I speak these things, that ye may believe.	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 lamp glowing and luminous: and ye were pleased for a 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 have a testimony greater than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me that I should fulfil them, these very works which I am doing, they bear witness of me, that the Father hath 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 sent me, himself hath borne witness concerning me. Ye have neither at any time heard his voice, nor seen his form.	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 ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.	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	Search the scriptures; for ye suppose in them ye have eternal life: and these are they which testify of 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 ye will not come to me, that ye might 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 receive not glory from men.	I do not receive glory from people.	“I do not accept glory from human beings,
42	But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in 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 my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another come in his own name, him ye will receive.	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 can ye believe, who receiving honour one from another, seek not the honour which cometh 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 suppose that I shall accuse you to my Father: there is one who is accusing you, even Moses, on whom ye place your 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 ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for of me did he write.	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 ye believe not his writings, how will ye believe 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?”
