Geneva1599 - John - 5

5:1  After that, there was a feast of the Iewes, and Iesus went vp to Hierusalem.

5:2  And there is at Hierusalem by the place of the sheepe, a poole called in Ebrew Bethesda, hauing fiue porches:

5:3  In the which lay a great multitude of sicke folke, of blinde, halte, and withered, wayting for the mouing of the water.

5:4  For an Angel went downe at a certaine season into the poole, and troubled the water: whosoeuer then first, after the stirring of the water, stepped in, was made whole of whatsoeuer disease he had.

5:5  And a certaine man was there, which had bene diseased eight and thirtie yeeres.

5:6  When Iesus sawe him lie, and knew that he nowe long time had bene diseased, he saide vnto him, Wilt thou be made whole?

5:7  The sicke man answered him, Sir, I haue no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the poole: but while I am comming, another steppeth downe before me.

5:8  Iesus said vnto him, Rise: take vp thy bed, and walke.

5:9  And immediatly the man was made whole, and tooke vp his bed, and walked: and the same day was the Sabbath.

5:10  The Iewes therefore said to him that was made whole, It is the Sabbath day: it is not lawfull for thee to cary thy bed.

5:11  He answered them, He that made me whole, he said vnto me, Take vp thy bed, and walke.

5:12  Then asked they him, What man is that which said vnto thee, Take vp thy bed and walke?

5:13  And he that was healed, knewe not who it was: for Iesus had conueied himselfe away from the multitude that was in that place.

5:14  And after that, Iesus founde him in the Temple, and said vnto him, Beholde, thou art made whole: sinne no more, lest a worse thing come vnto thee.

5:15  The man departed and tolde the Iewes that it was Iesus, which had made him whole.

5:16  And therefore the Iewes did persecute Iesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the Sabbath day.

5:17  But Iesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I worke.

5:18  Therefore the Iewes sought the more to kill him: not onely because he had broken the Sabbath: but said also that God was his Father, and made himselfe equall with God.

5:19  Then answered Iesus, and said vnto them, Verely, verely I say vnto you, The Sonne can doe nothing of himselfe, saue that he seeth the Father doe: for whatsoeuer things he doth, the same things doeth the Sonne in like maner.

5:20  For the Father loueth the Sonne, and sheweth him all things, whatsoeuer he himselfe doeth, and he will shewe him greater workes then these, that ye should marueile.

5:21  For likewise as the Father rayseth vp the dead, and quickeneth them, so the Sonne quickeneth whom he will.

5:22  For the Father iudgeth no man, but hath committed all iudgement vnto the Sonne,

5:23  Because that all men shoulde honour the Sonne, as they honour the Father: he that honoureth not the Sonne, the same honoureth not the Father, which hath sent him.

5:24  Verely, verely I say vnto you, he that heareth my worde, and beleeueth him that sent me, hath euerlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation, but hath passed from death vnto life.

5:25  Verely, verely I say vnto you, the houre shall come, and now is, when the dead shall heare the voyce of the Sonne of God: and they that heare it, shall liue.

5:26  For as the Father hath life in himselfe, so likewise hath he giuen to the Sonne to haue life in himselfe,

5:27  And hath giuen him power also to execute iudgement, in that he is the Sonne of man.

5:28  Marueile not at this: for the houre shall come, in the which all that are in the graues, shall heare his voyce.

5:29  And they shall come foorth, that haue done good, vnto ye resurrection of life: but they that haue done euil, vnto the resurrection of condemnation.

5:30  I can doe nothing of mine owne selfe: as I heare, I iudge: and my iudgement is iust, because I seeke not mine owne will, but the will of the Father who hath sent me.

5:31  If I should beare witnesse of my selfe, my witnesse were not true.

5:32  There is another that beareth witnesse of me, and I know that the witnesse, which he beareth of me, is true.

5:33  Ye sent vnto Iohn, and he bare witnesse vnto the trueth.

5:34  But I receiue not the record of man: neuerthelesse these things I say, that ye might be saued.

5:35  He was a burning, and a shining candle: and ye would for a season haue reioyced in his light.

5:36  But I haue greater witnesse then the witnesse of Iohn: for the workes which the Father hath giuen me to finish, the same workes that I doe, beare witnesse of me, that the Father sent me.

5:37  And the Father himselfe, which hath sent me, beareth witnesse of me. Ye haue not heard his voyce at any time, neither haue ye seene his shape.

5:38  And his worde haue you not abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye beleeued not.

5:39  Searche the Scriptures: for in them ye thinke to haue eternall life, and they are they which testifie of me.

5:40  But ye will not come to me, that ye might haue life.

5:41  I receiue not the prayse of men.

5:42  But I know you, that ye haue not the loue of God in you.

5:43  I am come in my Fathers Name, and ye receiue me not: if another shall come in his owne name, him will ye receiue.

5:44  How can ye beleeue, which receiue honour one of another, and seeke not the honour that commeth of God alone?

5:45  Doe not thinke that I will accuse you to my Father: there is one that accuseth you, euen Moses, in whom ye trust.

5:46  For had ye beleeued Moses, ye would haue beleeued me: for he wrote of me.

5:47  But if ye beleeue not his writings, how shall ye beleeue my wordes?
