1	After these things there was a celebration 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	and there is in Jerusalem by the sheep-[gate] a pool that is called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five porches,	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 were lying a great multitude of the ailing, blind, lame, withered, [[waiting for the moving 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 a messenger at a set time was going down in the pool, and was troubling the water, the first then having gone in after the troubling of the water, became whole of whatever sickness he was held.]]
5	And there was a certain man there being in ailment 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	him Jesus having seen lying, and having known that he is already a long time, He says to him, “Do you wish to become whole?”	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 ailing man answered Him, “Lord, I have no man, that, when the water may be troubled, he may put me into the pool, and while I am coming, another goes 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 says to him, “Rise, take up your pallet, and be walking”;	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 became whole, and he took up his pallet, and was walking, and it was a Sabbath on that day,	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 then said to him that has been healed, “It is a Sabbath; it is not lawful to you to take up the pallet.”	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 who made me whole—that One said to me, Take up your pallet, and be walking”;	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	they questioned him, then, “Who is the Man who is saying to you, Take up your bed and be walking?”	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 he that was healed had not known who He is, for Jesus moved away, a multitude being in the 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	After these things, Jesus finds him in the temple and said to him, “Behold, you have become whole; sin no more, lest 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	The man went away, and told the Jews that it is Jesus who 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 because of this were the Jews persecuting Jesus, and seeking to kill Him, because these things He was doing on a 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	And Jesus answered them, “My Father works until now, 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	because of this, then, were the Jews seeking the more to kill Him, because not only was He breaking the Sabbath, but He also called God His own 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	Jesus therefore responded and said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son is not able to do anything of Himself, if He may not see the Father doing anything; for whatever things He may do, these also the Son does in like manner;	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 cherishes the Son, and shows to Him all things that He Himself does; and greater works than these He will show Him, that you 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 raises the dead, and makes alive, so also the Son makes alive whom 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 neither does the Father judge anyone, but all the judgment He has given 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	that all may honor the Son according as they honor the Father; he who is not honoring 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	Truly, truly, I say to you, he who is hearing My word, and is believing Him who sent Me, has continuous life, and he does not come into judgment, but has passed out of 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	Truly, truly, I say to you, [that] there comes an hour, and it now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those having heard will 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 has life in Himself, so He gave also 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 authority He gave Him also to do judgment, because He is 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 wonder at this, because there comes an hour in which all those in the tombs will 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 will come forth; those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced evil things to a 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 of Myself to do anything; according as I hear I judge, and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of the 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 testify concerning 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 is testifying concerning Me, and I have known that the testimony that He testifies concerning 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 have sent to John, and he has testified 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 receive testimony from man, but these things I say 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 the burning and shining lamp, and you willed to be glad, for an hour, 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 the testimony greater than John’s, for the works that the Father gave Me, that I might finish them, the works themselves that I do, they testify concerning 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 sent Me has testified Himself concerning Me; you have neither heard His voice at any time, nor have you seen 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 remaining in you, because you do not believe Him whom He sent.	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	You search the Writings, because you think in them to have continuous life, and these are they that are testifying concerning 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 do not will to come to Me, 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 receive glory from man,	I do not receive glory from people.	“I do not accept glory from human beings,
42	but I have known you, that you do not have the love of God in yourselves.	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 receive Me; if another may come in his own name, him you 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 are you able—you—to believe, receiving glory from one another, and the glory that [is] from God alone you do not seek?	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 think that I will accuse you to the Father; there is [one] who is accusing you, Moses—in whom you have hoped;	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 Moses, you would have been believing Me, for he wrote concerning 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 his writings, how will you believe My sayings?”	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?”
